*''Japanese'': 樺山家 ''(Kabayama ke)''

The Kabayama clan was a prominent retainer family under the [[Shimazu clan]] of [[Satsuma han]].

The clan claimed descent from the fifth son of [[Shimazu Tadamune]], and took its name from Mimata-in Kabayama, where they first held territory.

Remains of [[Kabayama castle]], believed to be associated with the family, can still be found in Yoneyama Park in Mimata-chô, [[Miyazaki prefecture]].
