In this Japanese name, the family name is "Tachibana".
Tachibana Ginchiyo (立花 誾千代, September 23, 1569 – November 30, 1602) was the head of the Japanese clan of Tachibana during the Sengoku Period of the 16th century. Ginchiyo was the daughter of Tachibana Dōsetsu, retainer of the Ōtomo (which were rivals of the Shimazu clan at the time). Because Dosetsu had no sons, he requested that Ginchiyo be made family head after his death. After about five years, Ginchiyo was married to Tachibana Muneshige, who carried on Dōsetsu's family line.
