Miyazaki

Miyazaki lies on the Pacific side of Hyūga, where the plain meets the wooded hills of southern Kyushu. In 1446 Itō Suketaka captured Miyazaki Castle as his family expanded from Tonokōri across the plain. The Itō later lost their lands to the Shimazu, but after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Kyushu campaign Itō Suketake (Sukebe) received lands including Kiyotake in Miyazaki district. These became part of the holdings of the Obi domain.
