Migita

The Migita were a cadet branch of the Ōuchi, the official house of Suō Province whose Tatara ancestors claimed Baekje royal descent. Morinaga, younger brother of Ōuchi Morifusa, was enfeoffed at Migita and founded a separate house; Hirotoshi was the first to call himself Migita. A branch later became the Sue clan.

During the Nanboku-chō wars Migita Hironao followed Ōuchi Yoshihiro and was appointed shugodai of Iwami. After Sue Harukata's coup of 1551 and death at Itsukushima in 1555, Migita Takakage surrendered to Mōri Motonari before Yamaguchi fell.

Takakage adopted Motonari's seventh son Amano Motomasa as his heir, and the line continued as the Migita-Mōri, a kinsman house of the Chōshū daimyō. His own son Yasumasa took the name Misato and served the Mōri.
