Ema

The Ema were a warrior family based at Takahara in Hida Province. They later became Sengoku lords, fighting the Miki and rival members of their own family for power.

In 1564 Ema Tokimori used Takeda support to defeat the Miki and Ema Terumori, who also submitted to the Takeda. Terumori killed Tokimori in 1578. After Oda Nobunaga died in 1582, Terumori fought Anegakōji Yoritsuna for Hida and was killed at Yōkamachi; the family rapidly lost power.
