Princess Sen has been characterized in numerous Japanese dramas and movies as well as manga and anime. The historical Sen-hime was linked at birth or marriage to the most famous people of the Sengoku Era. Her maternal grandmother was [[Oichi]], the sister of [[Oda Nobunaga]]. Her paternal grandfather was [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] and her father and mother were Shogun [[Tokugawa Hidetada]] and Lady [[Oeyo]]. At six years old, her grandfather married her off to [[Toyotomi Hideyori]], who was the son of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Yodo|Yodo-gimi]]. Before Hideyoshi died in [[1598]], Ieyasu and other daimyo promised to protect Hideyori, but in [[1614]] and [[1615]], Ieyasu and Hidetada led two battles against Hideyori at [[Osaka castle]]. At the end of the second battle, before Hideyori and his mother committed suicide in the fire, Sen-hime (Nineteen years old) and her stepdaughter [[Naahime|Naa-hime]] (seven years old) were allowed to escape the castle. It was Sen-hime’s idea to ask her grandfather to save Naa-hime.
