Aoyama Tadatomo (青山忠朝)
Tadatomo AOYAMA was a daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) of the Edo Period and was Osaka jodai (the keeper of Osaka-jo Castle). He was the third lord of the Tanba-Kameyama Domain and later, the first load of Tanba-Shinoyama Domain. He was the seventh head of the Aoyama clan.
He was the second son of Yoshimasa AOYAMA who was the lord of the Tango-Miyazu Domain.
