The Haga of [[Shimotsuke province]] were related to the [[Utsunomiya clan|Utsunomiya]] and claimed descent from [[Kiyowara Takashige]], who in the 7th Century incurred the displeasure of the [[Emperor Temmu]] and was exiled to Shimotsuke. The Haga branched off from the Utsunomiya much later and established themselves at [[Haga castle]] in the 12th Century. They served the Utsunomiya into the 16th Century, with a son of [[Utsunomiya Hirotsuna]] ([[1543]]-[[1580]]), [[Haga Takasada|Takasada]], being named heir to the Haga house. They lost their lands when the Utsunomiya were dispossessed by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]].
