*''Japanese'': [[島津]] 忠徹 ''(Shimazu Tadayuki)''
Shimazu Tadayuki was a late [[Edo period]] lord of [[Sadowara han]].
Born in [[1797]] the eldest son of [[Shimazu Tadamochi]], he became lord of Sadowara following his father's retirement in [[1816]].
He died at [[Kusatsu-juku]] (a [[shukuba|post-town]] near [[Lake Biwa]], along the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]]) in [[1839]] while on his way to [[Edo]] on ''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]''. He arrived at the ''[[honjin]]'' on 4/7 already ill, and despite the attentions of one of his own court physicians, he passed away shortly afterward. Tadayuki had not formally named an heir, however, at this time, and shogunate regulations required that an heir be determined while the current lord (i.e. Tadayuki) was still living. Therefore, his death was hidden from official record for some time, until approval for the designation of the heir was received from the shogunate; in the end, Tadayuki was officially recorded as spending 77 nights at the ''honjin'' at Kusatsu, though the ''honjin's'' internal ''daifukuchô'' records describe the reality in detail.
