According to a record of his life, he was reportedly born in Sumiyoshi Taisha in Osaka. He was initially Koremune Tadayoshi (惟宗忠久) but after given Shimazu, Hyuga Province to rule from Minamoto no Yoritomo, he took the name of Shimazu. While there is a story that he was born as a son of Yoritomo, like that of Otomo Yoshinao, it is a story made up afterward to explain the validity of ruling domains. He was ordered to rule over Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and Hyuga Province.
Shimazu (島津) was the family name of the daimyo of the Satsuma han, spreading through Satsuma, Osumi Hyūga provinces in Japan.
The founder, ShimazuTadahisa (1179–1227), was a shugo daimyo during the Kamakura period, ruling Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyūga Provinces.
The 31st head of the Shimazu clan, Hisamitsu (1871–1887) was the daimyo of the Satsuma Han at the time of the Boshin War and the Meiji Restoration, in which Satsuma played a major role.
