Waga
The Waga were local lords of Waga district in Mutsu Province, with their main line based at Futago Castle in northern Japan.
In 1401 Waga Tokiyoshi received recognition of his authority, but a family dispute in 1435 drew in the Nanbu and cost the Waga outlying lands. Toyotomi Hideyoshi confiscated their domain in 1590. With Date support, Waga Tadachika rose against the Nanbu in 1600 but failed to take Hanamaki Castle; his stronghold at Iwasaki fell in 1601.
