There are several theories regarding Naotora's identity,
- the first is the popular theory of Jirō Hōshi, daughter of Ii Naomori, the eighteenth head of their clan. She was primarily the head of Ii clan and retainer of the Imagawa clan, because of her efforts, Ii Naotora became a daimyō and received nickname "Female Landlord" (女地頭).[3]
- The second theory were held that Ii Naotora were actually a son of Imagawa clan retainer named Sekiguchi Ujitsune.[1][2]
