::''This article is about a samurai clan; for the school of ukiyo-e art, see [[Torii school]].''
*''Japanese'': 鳥居氏 ''(Torii-shi)''
The Torii clan was a samurai family of the late [[Sengoku period|Sengoku]] and [[Edo period]]s of Japanese history. Loyal retainers of the [[Tokugawa clan]] since the late 16th century, the Torii are perhaps most famous for the bravery and valor of [[Torii Sune'emon]], who was crucified by [[Oda Nobunaga]] at the [[1575]] [[battle of Nagashino|siege of Nagashino castle]].
The family was originally granted the fief of Yahagi in [[Shimousa province]] in 1590. It was worth 40,000 ''[[koku]]''. Following the establishment of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], in 1606 the Torii were given [[Iwakidaira han]] in [[Mutsu province]], worth 100,000 ''koku''. Then, in 1622 they moved once more to [[Yamagata han|Yamagata]] in [[Dewa province]], with an annual income of 260,000 ''koku''. [[Torii Tadatsune]] died without an heir in 1636, and his fief thus reverted to the shogunate; his brother [[Torii Tadaharu]] was given [[Takato|Takatô]] in [[Shinano province]] (30,000 ''koku'').
