The Takanashi of [[Shinano province]] were descended from [[Minamoto Yorisue]], a son of [[Minamoto Yorinobu]] ([[968]]-[[1048]]). One of Yorisue's grandsons, [[Takanashi Morimitsu|Morimitsu]], adopted the name Takanashi. Morimitsu's own grandson, [[Takanashi Tadanao|Tadanao]], was a supporter of [[Minamoto Yoshinaka|Minamoto (Kiso) Yoshinaka]] ([[1154]]-[[1184]]) in the [[Gempei War]] ([[1180]]-[[1185]]). The Takahashi enjoyed a period of expansion in the early [[Sengoku Period]] in northern Shinano but would find themselves hard-pressed by [[Takeda Shingen]]. When Shingen invaded the Takanashi domain in [[1553]], the Takanashi joined the [[Murakami clan|Murakami]], [[Ogasawara clan|Ogasawara]], and [[Suda clan|Suda]] in turning to [[Uesugi Kenshin]] of [[Echigo province|Echigo]] for assistance. The Takanashi domain was nonetheless lost, and they became an [[Uesugi clan|Uesugi]] retainer family.
