Hattori clan

Japanese: 服部氏 - はっとりうじ

As descendants of Hattori no Muraji, the Hattori clan is found throughout Japan, but the most famous is the Hattori clan based in Hattori-go, Ahai County, Iga (Ueno City, Mie Prefecture). The Iga Hattori clan is a distinguished family with its eldest family, who had a clan god and clan temple within Hattori-go, and illegitimate families in Kuroda Manor, Ishiuchi Manor, Hirakaki Manor, and other places. In the Kamakura period, the family sided with Minamoto no Yoritomo early on, and thereafter served the shogunate as vassals. In the Nanboku-cho period, the family formed a kokujin ikki (local uprising) with vassals and non-vassals from Ahai County and Yamada County, centered around the eldest family, Hattori Mochinobu, and opposed manor lords, shugo, and neighboring powers.

Japanese:

服部連（はとりのむらじ）の子孫として服部を称する家で，諸国に分布しているが，伊賀阿拝郡服部郷(三重県上野市)を本拠とした服部氏が最も著名である。伊賀服部氏は服部郷内に氏神，氏寺をもつ惣領家を中心とし，黒田荘，石打荘，平柿荘などに庶子家を分立させた名家である。鎌倉時代には，早くから源頼朝に味方し，以後御家人として幕府に仕えた。南北朝時代に至ると，惣領服部持法を中心として，阿拝郡，山田郡の御家人，非御家人を集合した国人一揆を結成し，荘園領主，守護，隣国勢力と対抗した。
