*''Died: [[1676]]''
*''Japanese'': [[末次]] 平蔵 茂朝 ''(Suetsugu Heizou Shigetomo)''
Suetsugu Heizô Shigetomo was a [[Nagasaki daikan]] charged with overseeing trade at [[Nagasaki]] for the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. He was the fourth to hold the inherited name "Heizô" passed down within the [[Suetsugu family]] line.
In [[1669]], he helped oversee the construction of a Chinese-style ship meant to lead an expedition to survey islands off the Pacific Ocean coast of Japan. The expedition traveled to the [[Ogasawara Islands]] in [[1675]], led by [[Shimaya Ichizaemon]] (d. [[1690]]), and brought back detailed maps as well as numerous exotic items, including [[aromatic wood]]s and birds.
