Tendo clan

The Tendô of Dewa province were descended from Shiba Kaneyori. In the late 1500's the Tendô were often at odds with the Mogami and turned to their former enemies, the Date, for assistance. In 1584 Mogami Yoshiaki attacked the Tendô and the latter, betrayed by their retainers, were defeated. Tendô Yorihisa escaped the downfall of his family and later became a retainer of Date Masamune.
