Utsunomiya
The Utsunomiya were a warrior family based at Utsunomiya in Shimotsuke Province. During the fourteenth-century civil wars, Utsunomiya Kimitsuna supported the Southern Court while his son Ujitsuna joined the Ashikaga.
In the early sixteenth century Naritsuna expanded the family's power in northern Kantō, defeating the Satake in 1516. Utsunomiya Kunitsuna joined Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign against Odawara in 1590 and retained his lands, but Hideyoshi dispossessed him in 1597.
