Hatta

The Hatta were the parent lineage of the Oda lords of Oda Castle in Hitachi Province. Hatta Tomoie served Minamoto no Yoritomo and became governor of Hitachi; his descendants took the name Oda and supported the Southern Court in the fourteenth century.

Oda Ujiharu lost Oda Castle to the Satake in 1569 and submitted to them in 1583. His lands were confiscated in 1590 after he failed to join Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Odawara campaign; his son Tomoharu later resumed the Hatta name.
