  • Japanese: 大坂城代 (Oosaka joudai)

The Ôsaka jôdai was an official position within the Tokugawa shogunate, based at Osaka castle. Like the Kyoto shoshidai, the jôdai worked alongside the Osaka machi bugyô (town magistrates) to oversee the administration of the city of Osaka on behalf of the shogunate.

The first Osaka jôdai was appointed in 1619, after the shogunate gained control of the castle following the 1615 siege of Osaka.[1]
