*''Japanese'': 里見氏 ''(Satomi-shi)''
The Satomi family of [[Awa province (Honshu)|Awa province]] claimed descent from [[Nitta Yoshishige]] (d. 1202), whose son [[Nitta Yoshitoshi|Yoshitoshi]] took 'Satomi' as his surname. The Satomi moved from [[Kôzuke province]] to Awa in the mid-15th century, and remained there into the [[Edo Period]]. During the [[Sengoku period]], the Satomi were forced to submit to the forces of [[Hojo Ujitsuna|Hôjô Ujitsuna]] in [[1539]]. The remainder of the period saw the clan battle the [[Go-Hojo clan|Hôjô]], [[Takeda clan|Takeda]], and [[Imagawa clan]]s on a number of occasions.
The clan's holdings amounted to 120,000 ''[[koku]]'' at the beginning of the Edo period, but the clan died out in [[1622]].
