She married Masakage in 1551. After his death, she became a nun and was called Sentō-in.

When he moved to Aizu and then Yonezawa., she went along with him and died in 1609. she was over the age of eighty.
In this series, she is called Momo though she is said to have been called Aya in reality.

When Masatora, former Kagetora participates in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, she prays his good fortune in battle with Unomatsu, later Kagekatsu.
