*''Japanese'': 渋谷家 ''(Shibuya ke)''

The Shibuya clan were a samurai clan originally from [[Sagami province]], branches of which became the Kyushu clans of [[Irikiin clan|Irikiin]], [[Ketoin clan|Ketôin]], [[Togo clan|Tôgô]], [[Tsuruta clan|Tsuruta]], and [[Takajo clan|Takajô]]. The main lineage became retainers to the [[Shimazu clan]] in [[1569]], and remained Shimazu vassals through the [[Edo period]].

Originally from Sagami, the Shibuya clan battled against the [[Hojo clan (Hojo Regents)|Hôjô]] and [[Miura clan]]s during the [[Kamakura period]]. For their contributions in the [[Hoji War|Hôji War]] of [[1247]], the Shibuya were then named ''[[jito|jitô]]'' of a territory in northern [[Satsuma province]]. Members of the clan later formed the Iriki-in, Ketôin, Tôgô, Tsuruta, and Takajô families, also known as the "Shibuya five families" (''Shibuya goke'').

During the [[Nanbokucho period|Nanboku-chô]] and [[Muromachi period]]s, the Shibuya from time to time fought with the Shimazu clan, but once [[Shimazu Takahisa]] married a woman from the Irikiin family, the two clans began to build friendly relations. Once disputes over the Shimazu succession were settled, Takahisa then made his base at [[Kagoshima]], and set out to subdue [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]], during which he defeated the Shibuya at the [[1554]] [[battle of Iwatsurugi castle]]. The Shibuya then joined with the [[Sagara clan]] to face the Shimazu. The Shimazu took [[Oguchi castle|Ôguchi castle]] in Satsuma province, however, and as the alliance with the Sagara crumbled, the Shibuya were forced to submit to Shimazu authority later that same year.

In the 18th century, Satsuma ''daimyô'' [[Shimazu Tsugutoyo]] married a member of the Shibuya clan, who gave birth to his successor, [[Shimazu Munenobu]].
