At some point in 1996, he had a daughter named Shigure and she would grow up training to be one of Guren's bodyguards alongside Sayuri Hanayori.

Events of 2012
According to Shigure on the first day of school at First Shibuya High School, Samidare said that Guren is a talent of the Ichinose House that appears only once every thousand years. Guren refutes this, as the Ichinose House does not even have a history of 500 years yet.

Some time in October, Samidare, along with Masanori Hanayori, speaks briefly to Guren about his interaction with Makoto Narumi. He scolds him, telling him to conduct himself with dignity. However, he does not deny it when Masanori says they are relieved he didn’t change even after going to Shibuya where the Hīragis are.
