Miyoshi
The Miyoshi were local lords of Bingo province, based at Hieoyama Castle in Miyoshi. Their ancestor Fujiwara no Kanenori came from Ōmi in the twelfth century, and his son took the Miyoshi name.
Miyoshi Munetaka fought for the Amago against the Mōri in 1540, but later changed sides. In 1553 he and his son Takasuke pledged allegiance to Mōri Motonari. After Sekigahara in 1600, Miyoshi Hirotaka entered the service of the Asano of Hiroshima, while another branch served the Mōri of Chōfu.
