The Akamatsu were a warrior family based in Harima Province. Akamatsu Norimura allied with Ashikaga Takauji against the Kamakura shogunate, and the family became eligible to head the shogunate's samurai board.
In 1441 Akamatsu Mitsusuke killed Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori, then took his own life after attacks by the Yamana and Hosokawa. During the Ōnin War of 1467–1477, Akamatsu Masanori fought as a leading general for the Hosokawa.
