*''Japanese'': 蒲生家 ''(Kamou ke)''

The Kamô clan were descended from managers of [[Usa Hachiman Shrine]] in [[Bungo province]]. In the 15th century, they became ''[[karo|karô]]'' (''rôjû'') to the [[Shimazu clan]], but in the mid-16th century, they joined the [[Shibuya clan]] in rising up against the Shimazu. When [[Shimazu Takahisa]] took [[Iwatsurugi castle]] in [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]] in [[1554]], the Kamô took the opportunity to become more openly aggressive against the Shimazu; this ended in [[1557]] with the loss of [[Kamo castle|Kamô castle]] to the Shimazu.

The Kamô then suffered further defeats at the hands of the [[Irikiin clan|Iriki-in]] and [[Ketoin clan|Ketôin clans]], and were unable to return to any level of prosperity.
