| | Iriki-In Shigetomo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | The head of the Iriki-In family and the son of Shigetoshi, Shigetomo was a vassal of the Shimazu family of Satsuma. |
 | | In 1526 the Shimazu lord, Katsuhisa, suffered the rebellion of a kinsman, Sanehisa, and was forced to flee Satsuma. |
 | | Over the next few years, however, relations between Shigetomo and Shimazu Takahisa soured, and rumors flew that Shigetomo was plotting a rebellion, even though Shigetomo's younger sister was the wife of Takahisa and mother of the Shimazu heir, Yoshihisa. |
