Okudaira Nobumasa (奥平 信昌, 1555 – April 11, 1615), also called Okudaira Sadamasa (奥平 貞昌), was a Japanese daimyō of the Sengoku and early Edo periods.[1] Nobumasa's family considered their origins to have been associated with Mikawa Province. The clan was descended through the Akamatsu from the Murakami-Genji.[2]
