About Matsudaira Naritaka
- Matsudaira Naritaka (?? ??) (February 9, 1788 – February 26, 1838) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period who ruled the Tsuyama Domain of Mimasaka Province.
- Naritaka was the fourth son of Matsudaira Yasuchika, the fifth generation lord of Tsuyama; however, his brother Yasuharu succeeded to family headship first.
- After Yasuharu's death, Naritaka became lord of Tsuyama; however, he was discontented with the aloof treatment which Tsuyama received from the Tokugawa house, despite its status as a shinpan (??; Tokugawa-branch) domain.
- The domain had also been reduced from its onetime income of 100,000 koku.
- Consequently, though he had many children of his own, he adopted the shogun Ienari's son Ginnosuke, in order to improve the relations between Tsuyama and the main Tokugawa family.
- Upon Ginnosuke's adoption in 1817, 5,000 koku was added to the Tsuyama income, returning it to its previous 100,000 koku.
- Naritaka resigned in the winter of 1831, and Ginnosuke, as Matsudaira Naritami, succeeded him.
- Matsudaira Sadayasu, his son by birth, became lord of the Matsue Domain. Naritaka died in 1838, while in retirement.
