The Matsuda's origins are obscure but by the end of the 15th Century they were a growing power in western [[Bizen province]] and clashed with the [[Akamatsu clan|Akamatsu]]. They resisted the Akamatsu's efforts to subdue them and come to control Bizen's Asahi River valley. The Matsuda competed with the [[Urakami clan|Urakami]] and by [[1568]] had been reduced largely due to the efforts of [[Ukita Naoie]]. They afterwards seem to have devoted themselves to religious affairs, in particular [[Nichiren Buddhism]].
