→founder of the Ōgyū-Matsudaira branch
Matsudaira Norimoto (1446-1537) was the founder of the Ōgyū-Matsudaira branch, one of the cadet lines of the Matsudaira clan of Mikawa from which the Tokugawa descended. Grandson of Matsudaira Nobumitsu, who had seized the site of Ōgyū from the local lord Nagasaka Shinzaemon, he was entrusted with the custody of this stronghold and made it the base of his house. Between 1507 and 1510, together with his son Norimasa, he transformed the fort into a large mountain castle measuring about 280 m by 220 m, overlooking a road junction to the west of the village of Matsudaira. His grave is located at the eastern end of the ridge of Ōgyū Castle. His descendants remained loyal to the main line and later to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
