*''Japanese'': 千竃氏 ''(Chikama-shi)''

The Chikama clan were retainers to the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô clan]] of [[Odawara castle|Odawara]], and in the 15th century controlled a section of [[Satsuma province]]. Extending their influence southward, they established some degree of control over (or perhaps merely trading posts located on) a number of islands in the northern [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryûkyû Islands]], clashing at times with the newly founded [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]].
