Famous Yūki-Matsudaira include Matsudaira Naritami [19] and Matsudaira Yoshinaga, two daimyōs of the late Edo period.

In the Sengoku period, under Tokugawa Ieyasu (who was the head of what was formerly the main Matsudaira family line), the Sakai became chief retainers. In the Edo period , because of their longstanding service to the Tokugawa clan , the Sakai were classified as a fudai family, in contrast with the tozama ("outsider clans").
