Tadazane was the eldest son of [[Ijuin Tadamune]]. Although his father was killed for conspiratorial actions in [[1599]], he was allowed to remain a Shimazu retainer owing to the intercession of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. However, on a 10/2/1602 hunting expedition he was murdered, apparently on [[Shimazu Tadatsune|Shimazu Tadatsune's]] orders. A number of his close allies were afterwards put to death as well.
