Kasai
The Kasai were lords of central Mutsu, with a seat at Teraike in Tome district. Their ancestor Kiyoshige received land in Mutsu after Minamoto no Yoritomo's campaign in 1189.
The family expanded its influence during the wars of the Northern and Southern Courts. Kasai Harunobu later faced rebellion among his retainers and failed to attend Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Odawara campaign in 1590. Hideyoshi deprived him of his lands in the settlement of Ōshū.
