 Hôjô Soun
Yoshitada was killed in battle in 1476, and Ise, considered an objective outsider, was instrumental in solving the resulting succession dispute between Yoshitada's son Ujichika, who was only 6 years old at the time, and Yoshitada's cousin, Oshika Norimitsu.
Whatever the case, the ranks of Ise's band were swelled by former Ashikaga retainers.
Although Ise is remembered as Hôjô Soun, it is almost certain that he never used the name 'Hôjô' in his life, that creative tag being adopted by Ujitsuna in 1523 or 1524.
