	Shimazu family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shimazu (島津) was the family name of the daimyo of the Satsuma han, spreading through Satsuma, Osumi Hyūga provinces in Japan.
		The founder, Shimazu Tadahisa (1179–1227), was a shugo daimyo during the Kamakura period, ruling Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyūga Provinces.
		The 31st head of the Shimazu clan, Hisamitsu (1871–1887) was the daimyo of the Satsuma Han at the time of the Boshin War and the Meiji Restoration, in which Satsuma played a major role.

	Shimazu Yoshihisa
		Shimazu Yoshihisa was the eldest son of Shimazu Takahisa (1514-1571) and a lady of the Iriki-in family.
		While the Shimazu worked to consolidate their hold over Southern Kyushu and hold on to their forts in Higo, the Ryûzôji were active on another front, forcing the smaller clans of the Shimabara area of Hizen to submit.
		Their reasoning was that the Shimazu seemed to have drawn back to rest (as indeed they had) and this presented a fine opportunity to relieve Toshimitsu, a nearby castle currently under siege by Niiro Tadamoto.

		The Shimazu clan of Satsuma, Kyushu was an old clan at the time of the Age of Warring States Period of Japan.

		Takahisa would campaign fervidly with varying degrees of success in Satsuma, Osumi and Hyuga, though not many of his gains in those provinces would be permanent (although he would manage to seize and hold on to Kagoshima).
