Hisamatsu Sadakatsu (1560-1624) was a retainer beneath the clan of Tokugawa throughout the latter Sengoku Period of Feudal Japan. As Hisamatsu was a son of Hisamatsu Toshikatsu and the respective half-brother of Tokugawa Ieyasu by virtue of sharing the same mother, it is easily speculated that Sadakatsu supported his half-brother in retainership around the year of 1578, and thus participating in the former's struggle against the Takeda clan of Kai Province. Taking a part in the Sekigahara Campaign of 1600 with moderate showing to his ability, Sadakatsu was awarded by Ieyasu the district of Kakegawa within Totomi Province--which had been presently vacated by Yamanouchi Kazutoyo--and he thus remained within such a fief for many years into the Edo Period. By 1617, Sadakatsu would be transferred to the Kuwana District of Ise Province, and then to Nagashima three years into the future, where he was able to establish for himself two heirs to his position: Hisamatsu Sadamatsu and Sadatsuna. Sadakatsu's life up until the year of 1624 remains unknown, but he more than likely died of natural conditions by means of his present old age.
