Mr. Sudo Yamauchi

Japanese: 山内首藤氏 - やまのうちすどううじ

A medieval samurai family from Sagami. Its ancestor is said to be either Fujiwara Hidesato or Fujiwara Morotada. Sukekiyo, who became the head of the Uma clan, called himself the Sudo clan, and his son Sukemichi followed Minamoto no Yoshiie in the Former Nine Years' War and the Later Three Years' War, while Sukemichi's grandson Toshimichi took the name of the Yamauchi Sudo clan and based himself in Yamauchi Manor in Sagami Province, and fought alongside Minamoto no Yoshitomo in the Hogen and Heiji Rebellions. The Yamauchi Sudo clan was a retainer of the Genji clan who served as a wet nurse for the lord, but in 1180 (Jisho 4), Toshimichi's son Tsunetoshi did not join Minamoto no Yoritomo's uprising, and Yamauchi Manor was confiscated by Yoritomo. Later, Tsunetoshi followed Yoritomo and became the Shugo of Ise and Iga.

相模出身の中世武家。その祖は藤原秀郷とも藤原師尹ともいう。主馬首となった資清は首藤氏を称し，その子資通は前九年･後三年の役で源義家に従い，資通の孫俊通は相模国山内荘を本拠として山内首藤氏を称し，源義朝に従って保元･平治の乱を戦った。山内首藤氏は主家の乳人を務める源氏譜代の郎党であったが，1180年(治承4)源頼朝の挙兵に俊通の子経俊は応ぜず，山内荘は頼朝に没収された。その後，経俊は頼朝に従い伊勢，伊賀の守護となる。
