Kudō Suketaka

Kudō Suketaka was the sixth head of the Kudō clan and the lord who developed Kusumi Manor in Izu Province. He gave the clan's old Kanō Manor to his fourth son Shigemitsu, founder of the Kanō clan, and settled at Kusumi, where he founded the Itō clan.

After his heir Sukeie died early, Suketaka divided his Kusumi lands between his son Suketsugu and his grandson Itō Sukechika. The disputed inheritance drew the Kudō, Itō and Kawazu lines into a blood feud that ended with the Revenge of the Soga Brothers in 1193.
