The Sanada of Shinano Province were of obscure origins and may have been descended or related to the Uno family. They came into prominence while a retainer family of the Takeda after 1550. After the fall of the Takeda they became an independent house, resisting efforts by the Hôjô to force them from their territory. At the time of the Sekigahara Campaign members of the Sanada served on both sides in the contest and so a branch survived into the Edo Period while another, represented by Sanada Yukimura, was destroyed with the fall of Osaka Castle in 1615.
