Mr. Aiuji

Japanese: 安威氏 - あいうじ

A samurai family from the Northern and Southern Courts and Muromachi periods. They are presumed to have been warriors from Awi, Shimogori, Settsushima (present-day Awi, Ibaraki City). The name Awi Seijun appears among the magistrates of the Muromachi Shogunate in June 1341 (Kokoku 2, Ryakuo 4), and a person named Awi Shinzaemon Nyudo Seii also appears in a letter of request dated April 1343 (Kokoku 4, Koei 2), so it is known that he was a Shogunate magistrate at the time. However, his name disappears from the Shogunate's Kyomiyo the following year, and there are no further instances of the Awi family being mentioned in the magistrates' reports, so it is presumed that he was dismissed in the reorganization in 1344.

Japanese:

南北朝･室町期の武家。摂津島下郡安威(現，茨木市安威付近)出身の武士と推定される。1341年(興国2∥暦応4)6月の室町幕府奉行人奉書奉者に安威性遵なる人名が見え，43年(興国4∥康永2)4月の言上状にも安威新左衛門入道性意なる人物が見え，当時幕府の奉行人であったことが知られる。しかし翌年の幕府引付五番方交名（きようみよう）にはその名が消えており，以後も奉行人には安威氏の所見がないから，44年の編成替えで罷免されたと推定される。
