The Kyôgoku were descended from [[Sasaki Ujinobu]], one of whose descendants settled at [[Kyogoku castle|Kyôgoku Castle]] in [[Omi province|Ômi province]] and assumed its name. They were shaken by the rebellion of the [[Asai clan]] in the early [[Sengoku period]], an event that brought them into conflict with the [[Asakura clan]] of [[Echizen province]] as well.
The Kyôgoku came into possession of [[Otsu castle|Ôtsu castle]], but lost it in [[1600]] to [[Tachibana Muneshige]] (see [[Siege of Otsu|Siege of Ôtsu]]). Following the [[battle of Sekigahara]], [[Kyogoku Takatsugu|Kyôgoku Takatsugu]] was then given [[Obama han]] as its fief, with an income of 85,000 ''[[koku]]''. The clan stayed there only two generations, moving to [[Matsue han]] and then [[Marugame han]]. Meanwhile, another branch of the family, descended from Takatsugu's brother Takatomo, controlled the ''han'' of [[Tanabe han|Tanabe]], [[Miyazu han|Miyazu]], [[Mineyama han|Mineyama]], and [[Toyooka han|Toyooka]].
