Is Mr. Serada one of the ancestors of the Denda clan? In the folk historian Village Soichiro's "Historical Doubts Tokugawa Ieyasu Incident", Ieyasu's shadow warrior, Serada Jiro Saburo Motonobu, Originally a nomadic monk. One day, he was asked if he should become Ieyasu's Kagemusha Squid. That person was Kunimatsu Serada. Although the times are different, my grandfather who lived in the early Showa era and did not go to war was Kunimatsu Denda. Serada Kunimatsu's grandfather was a prayer monk named Eda Matsumotobo, who followed the stream of the Nitta clan.
