* ''Japanese:'' 阿比留氏 ''(Abiru-shi)''

The Abiru clan served the [[Kamakura shogunate]] as [[zaichokanjin|local officials]] on [[Tsushima]]. It is believed the clan may have been derived from the [[Taira clan]], but the validity of this notion is not fully evident from primary sources.

In 1246, the Abiru rose up against their superiors, the [[Dazaifu]] authorities, headed by the [[Chinzei Bugyo|Chinzei Bugyô]], which oversaw the governance of [[Kyushu]] for the shogunate. [[So Shigehisa|Koremune Shigehisa]], at the request of Dazaifu, put down the rebellion and put an end to the Abiru clan.
