Nikaidō
The Nikaidō were a samurai family of Iwase district in Mutsu, later based at Sukagawa Castle. They took their name from Fujiwara no Yukimasa.
In 1566 Nikaidō Moriyoshi lost two castles and made peace with the neighboring Ashina, sending his son as a hostage. The son succeeded to the Ashina family in 1574; with Ashina support Moriyoshi defeated the Tamura at Miyota in 1580. Moriyoshi died in 1581; his widow resisted Date Masamune until Sukagawa Castle fell in 1589.
