Sanada Yukimura is probably the most famous of the [[Sanada clan]] of [[Shinano province]].  He was the second son of [[Sanada Masayuki]] and his wife  (Kanshô-in　寒松院); his older brother was [[Sanada Nobuyuki|Nobuyuki]].

In 1585 the quarrel between his father Masayuki and [[Hojo Ujimasa  |Hôjô Ujimasa  ]] over [[Numata castle]] came to a head, and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] made plans to attack the Sanada castle of [[Ueda castle|Ueda]]. In response, Masayuki made overatures to [[Uesugi Kagekatsu]] of [[Echigo province]] and sent Yukimura as a hostage.  A letter of Uesugi's retainer Suda Mitsuchika 須田満親  dated  8/29 mentiones Yukimura's coming and says that a force had been sent to aid the Sanadas. Ieyasu's [[First Siege of Ueda|attack on Ueda Castle]] ended in utter failure.  Towards the end of the year Masayuki made overatures to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. Perhaps one result was that Yukimura was able to leave Uesugi, who had become a supporter of Hideyoshi.
