With an income of 150,000 Koku , the Hisamatsu residing in Matsuyama ( Ehime Prefecture ) and Kuwana ( Mie Prefecture ) with an income of 100,000 Koku belonged to the larger Fudai daimyō of the Edo period .

        • Sadatsuna ( 定 綱 , 1592–1651), third son of Sadakatsu and heir to his older brother Sadayoshi, initially resided in Yamakawa (Shimousa). After the siege of Osaka in 1615 he was transferred to Shimotsuma ( Hitachi ) with 30,000 koku, in 1619 to Kakegawa with 55,000 koku, 1625 to Yodo ( Yamashiro ) with 65,000 koku, 1633 to Ōgaki ( Mino ) with 85,000 koku and finally to Kuwana with 100,000 Koku. - His descendants resided in Takada ( Echigo ) from 1710 and in Shirakawa ( Mutsu ) from 1741 .
  • Sadanobu (定 信 , 1758–1829) was the seventh son of Tokugawa Munetaka, head of the Tayasu family. He was adopted by Matsudaira Sadakuni (松 平 定邦 ) and followed him in 1783 as Prince of Shirakawa. He distinguished himself through wise government and wasappointed Chancellor of the Shogunate ( rōjū )under Shogun Tokugawa Ienari in 1787, then in 1790 as personal advisor ( hosa ). He was now largely active in Bakufu, the heyday of the Kansei era (1789–1801) is ascribed to him. In 1793, Sadanobu prevented Emperor Kōkaku from wanting to make his father Sukehito-shinnō Emperor Dajō, even though he had never reigned. - When the Russians tried several times to contact Japan at the beginning of the 19th century, they were summoned to Nagasaki, where they always received evasive answers. In addition, Sadanobu ordered a careful inspection of the coasts and had defenses built. In 1812 he retired from service, shaved his head and called himself Gaku-ō. Sadanobu, one of the great administrators of the Tokugawa Shogunate, is also known as a writer. He was also called Matsudaira Etchū no kami after his honorary title.
