*''Died: [[1626]]''
*''Other Names'': 江 ''(Gou)'', 崇源院 ''(Sougen'in)''
*''Japanese'': 於江与 ''(Oeyo)''
O-eyo was the wife of [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Hidetada]]. She is also often referred to by variations on her name, including Eyo-no-kata, Gô-hime, and O-gô. After her husband stepped down as shogun, she took on a Buddhist retirement name, Sôgen'in.
She is the titular character of the 2011 [[NHK Taiga Drama]], ''Gô ~ Himetachi no Sengoku''.
==Lineage==
The youngest daughter of [[Asai Nagamasa]] and [[Oichi]], Oeyo, also known as Gô (江), taking a character from the name of Ômi Province (近江国) where she was born, was thus a niece of [[Oda Nobunaga]]. Her elder sisters, [[Yodo-gimi]] and [[Ohatsu]], married [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Kyogoku Takatsugu|Kyôgoku Takatsugu]] respectively.
Oeyo had several children with Hidetada, including a son, [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]], who would succeed Hidetada as shogun, and at least two daughters: [[Senhime]], who married [[Toyotomi Hideyori]], and later [[Honda Tadatoki]] of [[Himeji castle]], and [[Tofukumon-in|Tôfukumon-in]], who was Imperial consort to [[Emperor Go-Mizunoo]] and mother of [[Empress Meisho|Empress Meishô]].
==Biography==
O-eyo is said to have been rather strict about Hidetada not taking other wives, and not allowing his children by other women to remain in the household. [[Hoshina Masayuki]] was one such son, the direct son of Hidetada by blood, but adopted out of the [[Tokugawa clan]] and into the [[Hoshina clan]] shortly after his birth.<ref>Lillehoj, Elizabeth.
