Iesada died two years later, on [[1858]]/7/4, having named [[Tokugawa Iemochi]], a son of [[Tokugawa Nariyuki]], lord of [[Wakayama han]] (who was in turn a son of former shogun [[Tokugawa Ienari]]), his successor. Despite efforts by [[Tokugawa Nariaki]] of [[Mito han]] and others to have Nariaki's son [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu]] named shogun, Iemochi successfully took the position, with the support of [[Ii Naosuke]], among others. (Yoshinobu would later succeed Iemochi, however.) Iesada was buried at the [[Tokugawa clan]] family temple of [[Kan'ei-ji]] in [[Edo]]; while a number of shogunal mausolea were lost to bombings in World War II, Iesada's is among those which survive.
