One of the most powerful warrior clans in Japan !

Hojo was one of the most powerful warrior clans in Japan in the Sengoku period. The clan began when Ise Shinkuro began to conquer lands and build up his power at the beginning of the 16th century.

The Hôjô were founded by Ise Shinkuro (Sôun) and therefore were no relation to the earlier family of Regents (shikken), whose name was apparently borrowed for its prestige value. They ruled from Odawara castle in Sagami province from around 1520 until their defeat at the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590. During that time they expanded throughout the Kanto at the expense of the Uesugi and by 1590 could claim control of much of the region. Although the Hôjô enjoyed martial success, their domestic developments make them a favorite subject among scholars. Hojo clan genealogyThe origins of the Ise family are unclear, and certain scholars place their homeland as Bitchû Province while others maintain that they were Kyoto natives.

Hojo was also the wealthiest Clan during Feudal Japan, making them one of the easiest clans to play as.
