The Tandai continued, however, to wield little real power in comparison to that of the local lords, particularly the Shimazu, who remained largely outside of the control of the shogunate. What little authority the Tandai did wield dwindled and faded after 1400.

From [[1550]] onward, [[Shimazu Takahisa]], along with his sons [[Shimazu Yoshihisa|Yoshihisa]] and [[Shimazu Yoshihiro|Yoshihiro]], fought to unify southern Kyushu under their control. By [[1574]], they had subjugated the [[Hishigari clan|Hishigari]] and Shibuya clans in northern Satsuma province, and the [[Kimotsuki clan|Kimotsuki]], [[Ijichi clan|Ijichi]] and [[Kamo clan]]s in Ôsumi province; they then went on to defeat the [[Ito clan|Itô]] in Hyûga province in [[1577]], and the [[Otomo clan|Ôtomo]], led by [[Otomo Sorin|Ôtomo Sôrin]], in the [[battle of Mimikawa]] the following year. Shimazu Yoshihisa moved into other provinces after that, defeating [[Sagara Giyo|Sagara Giyô]] and [[Ryuzoji Takanobu|Ryûzôji Takanobu]] to gain power in Higo and Hizen provinces respectively. However, in [[1587]], [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] [[Kyushu Campaign|entered Kyushu]], and defeated the Shimazu, putting an end to their expansion.<ref name=reimei/>

After Hideyoshi's invasion, a number of the larger clans (such as the Shimazu of Satsuma & Ôsumi provinces) were able to keep their territories, while Hyûga province was divided up into five smaller territories, and was divvied up among different clans. The [[Akizuki clan]] of Chikuzen, for example, was one such clan, relocated at that time to [[Takanabe castle]], where they remained through the Edo period.<ref>Ono Masako, Tomita Chinatsu, Kanna Keiko, Taguchi Megumi, "Shiryô shôkai Kishi Akimasa bunko Satsuyû kikô," ''Shiryôhenshûshitsu kiyô'' 31 (2006), 235.</ref>
