Yūki
The Yūki were a warrior family based in Yūki district of Shimōsa. Their founder Tomomitsu followed Minamoto no Yoritomo and acquired lands there; during the fourteenth-century wars of the Northern and Southern Courts, the family divided into Shimōsa and Shirakawa branches.
In 1556 Yūki Masakatsu issued a code of laws for the family's domain. The Shirakawa branch was destroyed under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, while the Shimōsa line continued and became part of the Tokugawa family; Yūki Hideyasu received Echizen after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.
