  ## Biography
  
  Tokugawa Gorōta was the eldest son of the 4th daimyō of the Owari Domain, Tokugawa Yoshimichi, by his official wife, Zuishō-in, the daughter of the court noble Kujō Tsukezane. Gorōta was only two years old when his father died, and he followed only two months later at the age of three. The direct line of succession for the Owari Domain passed to his uncle, Tokugawa Tsugutomo. With his death, the paternal line of Tokugawa Yoshinao came to end.
  
  He was posthumously elevated to 3rd Court Rank. His grave is at the Owari Tokugawa clan temple of Kenchū-ji in Nagoya.
