Ishikawa
The Ishikawa of Mutsu were a warrior house based at Mitsuashi Castle in Ishikawa district. They claimed descent from Minamoto no Yorito and ruled as independent lords.
In 1563 Ishikawa Harumitsu adopted Akimitsu, a son of Date Harumune, who succeeded him in 1568. Toyotomi Hideyoshi deprived the Ishikawa of their domain in the 1590 settlement of Ōshū. They then served the Date as senior retainers and held the foremost place among the branch houses of the Sendai domain in the Edo period.
