The Rusu of [[Mutsu province]] were descended from [[Fujiwara Kaneie]] ([[929]]-[[999]]) and adopted the Rusu name following [[Minamoto Yoritomo|Minamoto Yoritomo's]] conquest of northern Japan in the wake of the 12th Century [[Gempei War]]. During the Nambokucho Period they supported the Southern Court and joined the army of [[Kitabatake Akiie]]. They entered the Sengoku Period established at Takamori Castle and connected with the [[Date clan|Date family]]. The Date provided them with a number of heirs, and the Rusu had essentially become a related retainer family by the late-16th Century.
