Bekkiuji

Japanese: 戸次氏 - べっきうじ

It can also be read as "Hetsugi". The family name originates from Totsugi-sho, Oita County, Bungo Province (present-day Oita City). The Ogami Totsugi clan had been in the manor since the end of the Heian period, but in the Kamakura period, Totsugi Korezumi handed over his estate to Bungo Shugo Otomo Noriaki (one theory goes that he adopted Noriaki's grandson Shigehide), and the Otomo lineage of the Totsugi clan began with Shigehide. In the Bungo Province Map of Fields, 1285 (8th year of the Koan period), the names of Shigehide's sons Tokichika, Shigeyori, and Yorichika appear in the Totsugi manor, and the family tree also includes the name of Yoshinao, showing that the estate was divided and inherited. The Totsugi clan held estates throughout Bungo, and had hidden influence, with Totsugi clan head Tokichika's son Sadanao and his illegitimate son Shigeyori listed on the Chinzei Council, which was established after the Mongol invasion.

Japanese:

〈へつぎ〉とも読む。苗字の地は豊後国大分郡戸次荘(現，大分市)。平安末期以来同荘に大神姓戸次氏がいたが，鎌倉時代になって戸次惟澄が豊後守護大友能直に所領を譲り(一説には能直の孫重秀を養子としたともいう)，重秀から大友系戸次氏が始まった。1285年(弘安8)の〈豊後国図田帳〉の戸次荘には重秀の子の時親，重頼，頼親の名が見え，同氏系図にはさらに親直の名もあって，分割相続をしていることがわかる。戸次氏は所領を豊後各地に得て，蒙古襲来後に設けられた鎮西評定衆に戸次氏惣領家時親の子貞直と，庶子家の重頼が名を連ねるなど，隠然たる勢力を有した。
