Inadome Sukenao (稲富 祐直; 1552 – 1611) also known as Inadome Ichimu was a Japanese military engineer and commander of the Sengoku period.[2] He served the Isshiki clan as a senior retainer and later he served Hosokawa Tadaoki.[2][3]
He was taught gunnery techniques by his grandfather Inadome Sukehide and later he founded Inadome school of gunnery.[4][2]
Before the Battle of Sekigahara, he took charge of Hosokawa Garasha's protection. When Ishida Mitsunari attempted to take Gracia as a hostage and surrounded Hosokawa clan's residence, he escaped without protecting Garasha.[3]
Later he served the Tokugawa Shogunate as a gunnery instructor.[2][3]
