*''Japanese'': 公方 ''(kubou, oyakekata)''

''Kubô'', an abbreviation of ''[[kuge]] no kata'' (公家の方, lit. "people of the noble houses") was originally a term used to refer to the [[Emperor]] and the members of the [[Imperial Court]]. In the [[Kamakura Period|Kamakura]] through [[Edo Period]]s, it was appropriated as a term to refer to the [[Shogun]], implying his status as a deputy to the Emperor, and through that Imperial connection, the legitimacy of his power. During the [[Muromachi Period]], the term also came to refer to the shogun's chief deputies assigned to administer certain regions (see [[Kanto kubo|Kantô kubô]], aka Kamakura kubô).
