Previous answer is
Hasebe Kunishige
長谷部国重
Minamoto Hirotada Shoji Kore
源広忠所持之
Special feature: Some people from Shinto Go Kunimitsu are said to be call themselves as Hasebe school, They could have moved to Yamashiro, affected by the decline of Hojo family. Most of their works are Sunnobi-Tanto, and we rarely see Katana. Most works of them have Gunomemidare or Gunomemidare Hitatsura, or merely Soshuden with great appearance. Gold-inlay Mei is not so clear but it is rather persuasive that this sword was possessed by Minamoto No Hirotada, because it has Aoi-Mon(the family crest of Tokugawa family) Habaki. Minamoto No Hirotada, as known as Jiro-Saburo or Takechiyo(child name), was a grandson of Matsudaira Nobutada, the head of the former Mikawa Matsudaira family. He was also a son of Kiyoyasu, a brother of Nobuie, and the father of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He was assassinated by his servant, Iwamatsu Hachiya, at the age of 26.
