According to the "Shuinjo (Shogunate license to trade) of Nobunaga ODA to Genbanosuke SAITO as of January 11, 1575," his mother was 'a daughter of Inuyama no Ise no kami (Governor of Inuyama, Ise Province)' and there is a possibility that she was from the Oda clan of Shugodai (deputy of Shugo, provincial constable).
『天正三年正月十一日付斎藤玄蕃助宛織田信長朱印状』によると、母は「犬山之伊勢守息女」とされており、守護代織田家の出身である可能性もある。
