*''Japanese'': [[島津]]忠宗 ''(Shimazu Tadamune)''
Shimazu Tadamune was the fourth head of the [[Shimazu clan]], and fourth Shimazu ''[[jito|jitô]]'' & ''[[shugo]]'' of Satsuma province.
He fought alongside his father, [[Shimazu Hisatsune]], in the [[1281]] defense against the second [[Mongol Invasions|Mongol invasion]], and became clan head upon Hisatsune's death in [[1284]]. Around that time, either Hisatsune or Tadamune became the first Shimazu head to relocate from [[Kamakura]] and take up permanent residence in [[Kagoshima]]. From then on, the Shimazu would administer their territory relatively directly, rather than appointing representatives (''shugo dai'') to administer in their stead.<ref>"[http://www.shuseikan.jp/word/family02.html Satsuma nyûkoku]," ''Satsuma Shimazu-ke no rekishi'', Shôkoshûseikan official website.</ref>
Tadamune was succeeded as clan head by his eldest son [[Shimazu Sadahisa]], while his other five sons founded branch families: [[Shimazu Suketada]] was progenitor of the [[Hongo clan|Hongô clan]] (aka Miyakonojô Shimazu), [[Shimazu Sukehisa]] was progenitor of the [[Kabayama clan]], [[Shimazu Tokihisa]] was progenitor of the [[Niiro clan]], [[Shimazu Tadamitsu]] was progenitor of the [[Sata clan]], and [[Shimazu Tadauji]] was progenitor of the [[Izumi clan]].
