His poor administration and ambitious views led to his impeachment in 1787, and the castle was completely demolished.
  • Okitomo ( 意 知 ; 1749–1784), Okitsugu's eldest son, was Wakadoshiyori in the shogunate administration . His arrogant behavior led to an argument with Sano Masakoto, who killed him in the shogun's palace.
  • Okiaki ( 意 明 ; 1773–1796), Okitomo's son, received Sagara for a short time after Okitsugu's deposition and then instead Shimomura in Mutsu Province .
