Yonekura Tadasuke was the sixth son of Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, a favorite of "shōgun" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi who served in a number of important posts within the administration of the Tokugawa shogunate. In 1710, he was adopted by Yonekura Masateru, the "daimyō" of Minagawa Domain in Shimotsuke Province, and succeeded to the head of the Yonekura clan and daimyo of Minagawa two years later. On September 1, 1716, he was received in a formal audience by Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. On July 27, 1722, he transferred the seat of the Yonekura clan to Mutsuura Domain in southern Musashi Province, (modern-day Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture), where his descendants continued to reside until the Meiji Restoration.
