A question for our friends in Japan

Perhaps you folks in Japan can help answer this question that came to us
via a visitor to the SHQ website.

The question is from Peter Matsudaira who is part of the Matsudaira
family who were retainers to the Maeda of Kaga.

Probably, I think that you have said about this person.

http://tikugo.cool.ne.jp/osaka/busho/maeda/b-matudaira-sada.html

He served Maeda Toshinaga who is the daimyo of the 2nd generation of
the Kaga domain.
He existed in the last stage of Sengoku period, and the beginning of
Edo period.
(From the second half of the 16th century to the first half of the
17th century.)
He was the son of the small feudal lord of Mikawa area.
Although he served Shibata Katsuie at first, since Toyotomi
Hideyoshi ruined Shibata, he became the retainer of Sassa Narimasa.
And after Sassa lost at war, he served Maeda Toshinaga.
In the Sekigahara war in 1600, he helped Toshinaga and did largest
activity in Maeda's retainers.
(In Sekigahara war, Daimyos in Japan was divided into the group of
Tokugawa and Ishida, and fought. Although Maeda group did not go to
Sekigahara, they fought with the Niwa group who is an enemy.)
He was set to karou (The maximum important vassal) of a Kaga domain
after Maeda Toshinaga died.
He died in 1620.
His posterity became the important vassal of Kaga domain.


By the way, I ask why the questioner knows this person.
About this man, probably, even if it is a Japanese, almost all
people do not know.
(I also got to know this person for the first time.)
I think that he probably will not be known if it is not the
investigator of Sengoku period, and the investigator of Maeda
family.
But since Sengoku period is the time which is popular more than
Bakumatsu, many researchers exist^_^

Thank you for replying Momoiro-usagi,

The person who asked about Matsudaira Yasusada is one of the American
descendants--Posterity ---of that person.
