Kutsuki Hirotsuna (朽木紘綱)

Hirotsuna KUTSUKI (September 1835 - September 11, 1854) was a successor of the Fukuchiyama Domain in Tanba Province. He was the fifth son of Masanaga YONEKURA, the lord of the Mutsuura Domain in Musashi Province. His lawful wife was the daughter of Tsunaeda KUCHIKI. His official court rank was Kawachi no kuni no kami (governor of Kawachi Province).

He became the adopted son of the 12th domain lord (Fukuchiyama Domain), Tsunaharu KUCHIKI, and took the 10th domain lord Tsunaeda's daughter as his lawful wife. However, he died young in 1854, before succeeding to the position of family head. The first son of Tsunaharu, Tametsuna KUCHIKI became the legitimate son, in stead.
