Not really. It CAN read "Madara", but actually his name is written in katakana マダラ in the manga.

The first two kanji is a common family name 真田[Sanada], and the last one is just a katakana ラ[ra]. It can be read madara, as I wrote in my previous post, but almost all people read it as "Sanada ra", a meaningless word.
