The Ashikaga clan has two branches:

The Ashikaga clan held the position of Shôgun as well as that of the Koga Kubô:

==''Kanto Kubô''==

==''Kanto Kubô;''==

The Ashikaga of the Kanto were tasked with maintaining the authority of the Ashikaga shôgun in that region and at first resided at Kamakura. They were known as the ''Kanto kubô'' and traditionally relied on the support of the [[Uesugi clan]], who were ''kanto kanrei'', or Deputy Shôgun for the Kanto. In [[1449]] [[Ashikaga Shigeuji]] ([[1438]]?-[[1531]]) became ''Kanto kubô'' and had [[Uesugi Noritada]] as his deputy. Shigeuji became concerned by the influence of the Uesugi and at length had Noritada murdered. The two main branches of the Uesugi, the Ogigayatsu and Yamanouchi, the latter supported by the Nagao of [[Echigo province|Echigo]], went to war with Shigeuji and his followers. Although Shigeuji held his own in various battles in [[Sagami province|Sagami]] and elsewhere, Kamakura was taken and burned by [[Imagawa Noritada]] in [[1455]] and the Ashikaga ''Kanto kubô'' afterwards resided in [[Shimosa province]]. When the Hôjô began to make advances into the Kanto in the early 16th Century, the Ashikaga allied with the Uesugi to challenge them. The ''Kanto Kubô'' position came to an effective end with the defeat and capture of [[Ashikaga Haruuji]] in [[1554]].
