Tokugawa Iemochi
Second in seniority was Kii or Kishū House. The founder was Tokugawa Yorinobu, the tenth son of Ieyasu. Yorinobu was "daimyō" of the Kishū Han with its castle at Wakayama and a rating of 555,000 "koku". He entered Wakayama in 1619 when the previous "daimyō" was transferred. Fourteen members of the Tokugawa clan headed the fief during the Edo Period. It was the only family to directly produce successors to the shōgun, once in 1716 with Tokugawa Yoshimune and again in 1858 with Tokugawa Iemochi.
