Okochi clan - Okochi clan

Japanese: 大河内氏 - おおこうちうじ

...A fudai-chu domain with its headquarters in Takasaki Castle in Kozuke Province (Gunma Prefecture). In 1590 (Tensho 18), Ii Naomasa, who was granted 120,000 koku of rice at Minowa Castle in the same province, moved the castle to the old Wada Castle along the Nakasendo road in 1598 (Keicho 3) by order of the shogunate and established the domain. At this time, the name was changed to Takasaki. Since then, seven successive lords of the domain have passed through the domain. Naomasa began repairing Wada Castle and developing the castle town, but in 1601 he moved to Sawayama in Omi, and after that Suwa Yorimizu became the castle lord, and in 1604 Sakai Ietsugu was appointed from Usui in Shimousa (50,000 koku). During his 12 years in the castle, he took part in the Siege of Osaka, and in 16th year (Genwa 2), he moved to Takada in Echigo. Matsudaira (Toda) Yasunaga and Matsudaira Nobuyoshi took over in succession, but their stay in the castle was short-lived. In 19th year, Ando Shigenobu took over, and under Shigenaga and Shigehiro, the Ando clan held the fief for 77 years over three generations (56,600 koku).

From Matsudaira

...There are 16 outside families, including the Maeda clan (3 families in Kanazawa, Toyama, and Daishoji), the Satsuma Shimazu clan, the Sendai Date clan, the Fukuoka Kuroda clan, the Hiroshima Asano clan and its Uchisho branch, the Choshu Mori clan, the Saga Nabeshima clan, the Ikeda clan (4 families in Okayama, Tottori, Shikano, and Wakasa), the Tokushima Hachisuka clan, and the Kochi Yamauchi clan. At the end of the Edo period, the number of daimyo given the Matsudaira surname reached 25, but in 1868 (Meiji 1), the new government restored the original surname. In addition to the above, there are three Okawachi Matsudaira families (20,000 koku in Otaki, Kazusa, 70,000 koku in Yoshida, Mikawa, and 80,000 koku in Takasaki, Kozuke) who were adopted by the Matsudaira clan from the Okawachi clan but whose lineage remains a branch of the Okawachi clan, as fudai daimyo.
