In Shimobayashi there is an area named Shirozuka that comes from the "Shiro" in Zenshiro Mitsubayashi.
Zenshiro Mitsubayashi was a leader of the Jodo-shinshu Sect, and fought in the Ikko Ikki rebellion in Kaga. In 1577, Zenshiro fought against Morimasa Sakuma of Oda Nobunaga's forces from his base at Hasatani Castle in Kaga. In 1580, he died at Kanazawa Mido in the fierce fight against Katsuie Shibata, who was on Oda's side.
