The Shiba were descended from the [[Minamoto clan|Minamoto]] and during the [[Muromachi Period]] were an influential [[shugo]] family that included [[Owari province|Owari]] and [[Echizen province|Echizen]] provinces among their holdings. They failed to make the transition to [[Sengoku Period|Sengoku]]-[[daimyo|daimyô]] and lost Echizen to the [[Asakura clan|Asakura]] in the 1470s. By [[1550]] they were represented by [[Shiba Yoshimune]] of Owari province, a figurehead behind which one branch of the [[Oda clan (Owari)|Oda]] family ruled. When Yoshimune was killed in [[1554]], the Shiba effectively came to an end.
