The Nanbu of northern [[Mutsu province]] were descended from the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] of [[Kai province|Kai]]. During the Sengoku Period they became powerful in northern Mutsu, competing with the [[Akita clan|Akita]], [[Tozawa clan|Tozawa]], and others for territory. [[Nanbu Yasunobu]] destroyed the [[Namioka clan]] in [[1523]] and under the leadership of his son [[Nanbu Harumasa|Harumasa]] the family expanded their power greatly. They later submitted to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], supported the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]], and resided at [[Morioka castle]] until the end of the [[Edo Period]].
