== Biography == Ōmandokoro is said to have been born in Gokisu-mura, Owari Province. She was married to Kinoshita Yaemon, an Ashigaru of the Oda clan. They had at least two children, Tomo and Hideyoshi. She remarried when her husband died. There is some controversy whether Asahi no kata and Hidenaga were the children of her first or second husband.
