==Biography== Satake Yoshimine was the second son of Satake Yoshinaga of Iwasaki Domain and thus the grandson of Satake Yoshizumi. His mother was a daughter of Matsura Shigenobu of Hirado Domain. He was initially named Yoshiyuki (義恭). He was received in formal audience by Shōgun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in 1702. In 1715, he was posthumously adopted by Satake Yoshitada and became ''daimyō'' of Kubota. His position was confirmed in an audience with Shōgun Tokugawa Ietsuna later the same year. In 1717, he visited his domain for the first time. His courtesy title was promoted to ''Sakonoeshōshō'' in 1744.
The opposite in personality and temperament from his predecessor, he abolished all sumptuary laws and did his utmost to live a life of profligate luxury, driving the domain and even his retainers into the verge of bankruptcy.
Yoshimine was married to a daughter of Kuroda Nagakiyo of a cadet branch of Fukuoka Domain, and had at least two concubines and four daughters; however, he had no male heir, He attempted to adopt Satake Yoshiaki (1723-1758) of Iwasaki Domain as his successor, but this was strenuously opposed by the clan elders, so he adopted Satake Yoshikata (1692-1742) of Kubota-Shinden Domain instead. However, when Yoshikata died in 1742, he was forced to choose another heir and adopted Yoshikata's son Satake Yoshimasa (1728-1753) in his place.<ref name="Shichinomiya"<ref/>
