Nitsuki
The Nitsuki were a branch of the Ashikaga warrior family, named for their home in Mikawa Province. In 1336 Nitsuki Yoshinaga fought for Ashikaga Takauji in Kyushu, then remained there to oppose Southern Court forces.
Yoshinaga and his brother Yoriaki became governors of several provinces; Yoriaki served as Takauji's deputy from 1351. During the Ōnin War of 1467–1477 the family divided into Tamba, Ise and Iga branches, and its power declined.
