*''Died: [[1865]]''
Tsugaru Yukitsugu was the 11th lord of [[Hirosaki han]]. A member of the lineage of the branch domain of [[Kuroishi han]], he was adopted by Lord of Hirosaki [[Tsugaru Nobuyuki]], three months his junior, to be his heir in [[1839]]. Yukitsugu succeeded Nobuyuki in the fifth month that same year, changing his name from Yukinori to Yukitsugu.
His administration is known for its austerity policies, something the previous two ''daimyô'', Nobuyuki and [[Tsugaru Yasuchika|Yasuchika]], had failed to implement sufficiently. Beginning in 1839/10, Yukitsugu oversaw a thirty-point five-year plan, which began with dramatically reducing the expenditures of the lord's own household. Not only did this bring significant alleviation of financial difficulties on its own, but it also set an example, encouraging retainers to cut their spending in turn.
Yukitsugu remained ''daimyô'' until his death in [[1865]], when he was succeeded by [[Tsugaru Tsuguakira]].
