The Imagawa clan was a Japanese clan that claimed descent from Emperor Seiwa (850-880). It was a branch of the Minamoto clan by the Ashikaga clan. Ashikaga Kuniuji, grandson of Ashikaga Yoshiuji, established himself in the 13th century at Imagawa (Mikawa province) and took its name. Imagawa Norikuni (1295-1384) received from his cousin the shogun Ashikaga Takauji the province of Totomi, and later that of Suruga. After the death of Yoshimoto at the battle of Okehazama in 1560, many Imagawa officers defected to other clans. Within a decade the clan had lost all of its land holdings to the Tokugawa and Takeda clans. The Imagawa subsequently became masters of ceremonies in the service of the Tokugawa clan.
