Hattori Yasunaga (服部 保長) was a Japanese samurai of the Hattori clan who served under the Matsudaira clan, and the father of Hattori Hanzō.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1561, Yasunaga received his son Hanzō back at home in Mikawa, where he asked about his progress and training under Momochi Sandayu as a shinobi. However, he feigned interest and told Hanzō to return home, to relinquish this game of being a shinobi, and to become a samurai for their clan. Hanzō admitted that he had found two friends in Iga and needed to continue his training, but Yasunaga responded by calling his son weak and dismissing him. This led Hanzō to remember a similar moment in his childhood, when Yasunaga had hit his mother for failing to live up to his expectations.[1]
In 1562, Yasunaga answered and joined Matsudaira Takechiyo's call to launch an attack on Kaminogō Castle to rescue his wife Sena and their children Kamehime and Nobuyasu. Leading his men, Yasunaga ordered his archers to set the castle aflame, unaware that his son Hanzō was inside, negotiating for the lives of Matsudaira's family.[2]
