Date Hidemune was the eldest son of Date Masamune and the first lord of the Uwajima Domain on Shikoku. Born to a concubine and held for years as a hostage of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was passed over as heir to the Sendai Domain. In 1614 the Tokugawa shogunate granted him Uwajima, worth 100,000 koku, which his descendants held until 1871.
