 | | The Amago clan (尼子氏), also Amako, was a samurai family that fought the Ōuchi clan and Mōri clan, who had been among their vassals, during Japan's Sengoku period. |
 | | Originally from the Chūgoku region, the Amago gained power during the Ōnin War when Amago Tsunehisa conquered the Oki Islands and Izumo province. |
 | | Amago Katsuhisa tried to regain prestige for the clan by joining the forces of Oda Nobunaga, but was defeated in the Siege of Kōzuki in 1578, and committed suicide, thus putting an end to the clan. |
