Mizuno Tadakuni

In this Japanese name, the family name is Mizuno.

Mizuno Tadakuni (水野 忠邦; July 19, 1794 - March 12, 1851) Japanese samurai of the late Edo period. Mizuno was the chief senior councilor (rōju) in service to the Tokugawa Shogunate, and is remembered for having instituted the Tenpo Reform. Part of these reforms included the Agechi-rei which was to have daimyō in the vicinity of Edo and Ōsaka surrender their holdings for equal amounts of land elsewhere, thereby consolidating Tokugawa control over these strategically vital areas. However, this was to prove greatly unpopular amongst daimyō of all ranks and income levels, and consequently Mizuno was to lose favor and his position in the government.
