Takenaka clan

Takenaka clan

The nihongo|Takenaka clan|竹中氏|Takenaka-shi| is a Japanese family descended from the Seiwa Genji line's Toki branch. [ [http://www2.harimaya.com/sengoku/html/takena_k.html •?‰Æ‰Æ“` Q’|’†Ž ] ] .

The family, with holdings in the Fuwa district of Mino Province, was founded by Iwate Shigeuji, who was the first to take the name Takenaka. [ [http://www2.harimaya.com/sengoku/html/takena_k.html •?‰Æ‰Æ“` Q’|’†Ž ] ] .

Perhaps most famed during the headship of the strategist Takenaka Shigeharu (Hanbei), the family became hatamoto under Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Edo era. [ [http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~TQ2Y-JYUK/takenaka.html �$BCCf;a4 [�(J ] ] Takenaka Shigekata, the family head in the Bakumatsu era, was a famous field commander during the Boshin War.

A branch of the Takenaka family was until 1634 "daimyo" of the Takada and then Funai Domains (Bungo province), before having its lands returned to the Shogunate.
