Tokugawa Ieshige
was the 8th Naitō "daimyō" of Murakami. Nobutami was the third son of Naitō Masatsuna of Iwamurada Domain. In 1860 he was adopted as heir to Naitō Nobuchika, and was received in formal audience by Shōgun Tokugawa Ieshige in 1863, and granted the courtesy title of "Buzen-no-kami", later changed to "Kii-no-kami". He became "daimyō" the following year and assisted the shogunate in the Second Chōshū expedition. In 1868, feigning illness, he refused calls by the shogunate and opened negotiations with the Meiji government, but opinion in the domain was divided, and due to the influence of Nobuchika, the domain sided with the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei during the Boshin War. With the defeat of the pro-Tokugawa forces in the Battle of Hokuetsu, he returned to Murakami and committed seppuku on August 28 at the age of 19.
