Nagatomi, known in his childhood as Kakuzō (覚蔵) and later Bankichi (蕃吉), was born in the clan's Edo residence in 1803. He was the eldest son of the previous daimyō, Niwa Nagaakira by a concubine. At age 11, on the death of his father, he became daimyō of Nihonmatsu. Due to his youth, he relied heavily on his karō, Niwa Takaaki. He encouraged his retainers to excel in both martial and literary arts, and to that end, sponsored the opening of the han school, Keigakukan (敬学館).[2] In 1822, he was forced to deploy domain forces to put down a peasant uprising. He also helped revive the domain's economic situation following a seven-year string of famines during the Tenpō era. His domain, together with Aizu Domain, was placed in charge of security at the Futtsu artillery emplacement by the Tokugawa shogunate during the Perry Expedition. Citing ill health, Nagatomi resigned his positions in 1858, and was succeeded by his sixth son Niwa Nagakuni.
