Sakai Tadatsugu (酒井 忠次, 1527 – 17 December 1596) was one of the most favored and most successful military commanders serving Tokugawa Ieyasu in the late-Sengoku period.
Serving as highest ranking general in Tokugawa clan along with Ishikawa Kazumasa,[1] Tadatsugu also regarded as one of the Four Guardians of the Tokugawa (Tokugawa-Shitennō).[2] along with Honda Tadakatsu, Ii Naomasa, and Sakakibara Yasumasa.[3][4] He also included in another cultural depiction as one of Tokugawa 16 divine generals(Tokugawa jūrokushinshō).[5][6] His official title was Sakai Saemon-no-jo Tadatsugu.[7]
Sakai Tadatsugu also allegedly involved in conspiracy that caused the death of Lady Tsukiyama and her son, Matsudaira Nobuyasu.[8]
