Mr. Haga

Japanese: 芳賀氏 - はがうじ

A medieval samurai family in Shimotsuke. They called themselves the Kiyohara clan, and together with the Mashiko clan, which shared the surname Ki, they were known as the Ki-Ki party under the Utsunomiya clan, a powerful clan in Shimotsuke Province. It is said that the clan began when Takashige, the son of Kiyohara Takasumi, was exiled to Shimotsuke Province and lived in Ouchi-sho, Haga County. Haga Jirodayu Takachika accompanied Utsunomiya Asatsuna in the conquest of Oshu in 1189 (Bun'ei 5), and was praised by Minamoto no Yoritomo for his achievements. During the civil war between the Northern and Southern Courts, while Utsunomiya Kintsuna served the Southern Court, Haga Zenka supported Kintsuna's son Ujitsuna and fought bravely under Ashikaga Takauji. Due to his achievements, Ujitsuna was appointed Shugo of Echigo and Kozuke, and Zenka sent his sons Takasada and Takaie to Echigo as deputy Shugo.

下野の中世武家。清原氏族を称し，紀姓の益子氏とともに，下野国の豪族宇都宮氏旗下の紀･清両党として知られる。清原高澄の子，高重が下野国に配流され，芳賀郡大内荘に住したのに始まると伝える。芳賀次郎大夫高親は，1189年(文治5)宇都宮朝綱に従って奥州征伐に出陣し，源頼朝よりその功を賞せられた。南北朝の内乱では，宇都宮公綱が南朝に仕えたのに対し，芳賀禅可は公綱の子氏綱を擁して足利尊氏に属して奮戦。その功により氏綱は越後･上野守護に任じられ，禅可は子高貞･高家を守護代として越後に遣わした。
