Background History:
Sanada Nobuyuki (1566–1658) was a prominent Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period, the eldest son of the famous Sanada Masayuki and older brother to the legendary Sanada Yukimura. Nobuyuki played a key role during the turbulent years of the Siege of Osaka in 1614, where the relationship between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi families reached its boiling point. Despite his loyalty to the Tokugawa, he was unable to save his brother, Yukimura, who perished in battle. After the fall of Osaka Castle, Nobuyuki earned the respect of Tokugawa Ieyasu and was later appointed as the first lord of the Matsushiro clan, living a long life until the age of 92. His legacy remains tied to his strategic mind and his commitment to family and honor.
