The Horiuchi were a family from [[Kii province]] whose origins are obscure beyond a number of theories, including one connecting them to [[Minamoto Tameyoshi]]. During the early part of the [[Sengoku Period]], [[Horiuchi Ujitora]] took advantage of the decline of the [[Hatakeyama clan]] to expand in the Kumano district of Kii and in the process absorbed the local [[Arima clan|Arima family]]. Ujitora's son [[Horiuchi Ujiyoshi|Ujiyoshi]] later served [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] but was dispossessed after the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]).
