The Dodo were the holders of [[Sawayama castle]] in [[Omi province|Ômi Province]]. They rebelled against the [[Rokkaku clan]] around [[1559]] and were defeated by [[Rokkaku Yoshikata]] and lost Sawayama. They then aligned with the [[Asai clan|Asai]] and a certain [[Dodo Kuranosuke]] was present at the [[Battle of Norada]] (1560), where [[Asai Nagamasa]] defeated the army of Rokkaku Yoshikata. Sawayama Castle would go on to have a distinguished series of owners after [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]] defeated the Rokkaku in the early 1570's: [[Niwa Nagahide]] ([[1573]]), [[Hori Hidemasa]] ([[1583]]), and eventually [[Ishida Mitsunari]].
