Masuda
The Masuda were a warrior family based at Masuda in Iwami Province. They rose under the Ōuchi, and Masuda Kanetaka and his son fought for Ōuchi Masahiro during the Ōnin War.
After the Ōuchi were weakened, Masuda Fujikane surrendered to the Mōri in 1557. His son Motonaga served the Mōri in campaigns including the siege of Kōzuki Castle in 1578; after Sekigahara in 1600, he left Iwami for Nagato, where his family held Susa as senior retainers of Chōshū.
