Shiro Ohta

...It already appears in the Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki and Wamyosho as Ota Village and Ota District in Kuji County. At the end of the Heian period, Hitachi no Suke Takayoshi, who ruled over Satake District in Kuji County, moved to this area and called himself Ota Shiro. During the time of his son Hideyoshi, according to the entry for November 8, 1180 in the Azuma Kagami, his land was confiscated for not joining Yoritomo's uprising, and it is clear that the confiscated land included Ota along with the seven inner districts of Hitachi Province. For the next 400 years, the Satake clan made this their castle, but during the Muromachi period, they were driven out of Ota due to a family feud.
