In this Japanese name, the family name is Hijikata.
Hijikata Katsunaga (土方 雄永, April 22, 1851 – May 10, 1884) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period, who ruled the Komono Domain of Ise Province (modern-day Mie Prefecture). He succeeded to the family headship at age seven; consequently, his father assisted with the administration of the domain. In the Boshin War, his domain was evenly divided between pro-shogunate and sonnō elements; despite this division, Komono, under Katsunaga's rule, joined and assisted the imperial army on its march eastward.
Katsunaga retired in the fall of 1870, yielding headship to his adopted son, Katsuyuki. The following year, Katsunaga moved to Tokyo.
