Biography and lineage

It is said he first signed Sadakuni 定國, then also Masanobu 正信 (MAS696/697). Ōan. There's nenki of Ōan 2 (1369)[1]. NMK calls his a son of Gengorō Nobukuni, but it's quite likely Gengorō himself. There is another Nobukuni from Echigo, active in Ōei, which may be Gengorō's son (Masanobu Nidai).
