*''Japanese'': 菱刈家 ''(Hishikari ke)''
The Hishikari clan was a prominent ruling clan in [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]] from the [[Heian period]] until the late [[Sengoku period]], when they became vassals of the [[Shimazu clan]].
Originally from Ôsumi, the Hishikari also controlled parts of [[Higo province]] for a time. During the [[Muromachi period]], they came into conflict with the Shimazu from time to time, and in particular during the time of [[Shimazu Takahisa]], the Hishikari rose up, alongside the [[Shibuya clan]] (with whom the Hishikari had marriage links) and the [[Sagara clan]] against the Shimazu. The Hishikari suffered a significant defeat at the [[battle of Iwatsurugi castle]] in [[1554]], and in [[1567]], [[Shimazu Yoshihisa]] actively moved against them. Making a last stand at [[Oguchi castle|Ôguchi castle]] (in what is today Hishikari City, [[Kagoshima prefecture]]) alongside aid from the Sagara, the Hishikari fought hard, but were eventually defeated, turning over the castle in [[1569]].
The Hishikari were Shimazu retainers through the [[Edo period]].
