Itakura Shigemune (板倉 重宗, 1586 – January 15, 1657) was a Japanese daimyō of the early Edo period.[1] Shigemune's daimyō family claimed descent from the Shibukawa branch of the Seiwa Genji. The Itakura identified its clan origins in Mikawa Province. The descendants of Itakura Katsushige,[2] including the descendants of his eldest son Shigemune, were known as the elder branch of the clan.[3] In 1622, his service was rewarded by his assignment as daimyō of Sekiyado Domain.[3] Shigemune's court title was Suō no Kami.
