Toda clan

The Toda family of Mikawa province were descended from Fujiwara Sanefusa (d.1224). Originally from Ômi province, they established themselves in Mikawa in the early Sengoku Period, with Toda Munemitsu building Tawara castle between 1492-1501. They came to serve the Matsudaira (Tokugawa) and would pass into the Edo Period as daimyô.
