The link below displays the same handwriting and identifies him as the 6th generation Kinmichi (not Kanemichi as I read it).

This damn iPhone is hell to work with. I’ll post corrections after I get home on a REAL computer.

Yours next to the 6th generation Kinmichi. Similar writing style, but the 6th gen uses a specific nickname:
雷除
Raiyo
Here's hoping the experts chime in.

Wow!, that’s three nice looking Wakiashis
. Wish I came across even just one of them myself. I really took a liking to them after watching “The Twilight Samurai” starring Hiroyuki Sanada. It’s one of my favorite samurai movie and Japanese actor of modern times.
