The family name was first established during the time of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], when [[Ashikaga Kunitomo]], the grandson of Oyumi Kubô [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki (Oyumi Kubo)|Ashikaga Yoshiaki]], succeeded [[Ashikaga Yoshiuji]] as ''koga kubô''. Hideyoshi transferred him to a domain at Kitsuregawa, in Shioya district, [[Shimotsuke province]], and the lineage came to be known as the Kitsuregawa.
