Mitoya

The Mitoya were local lords of Izumo Province, named for the estate granted to their Suwabe ancestors in 1221. In 1337 Mitoya Sukeshige fought for Ashikaga Takauji at Kanegasaki.

Mitoya Hisasuke served the Amago before joining the Mōri in 1562. He defended Mitoya Castle against the Amago, but Mōri Terumoto later expelled him from his ancestral lands; Hisasuke died near Kyoto in 1591.
