The Ogasawara of [[Shinano province|Shinano]] were descended from the Seiwa-Genji/Minamoto and were founded by [[Ogasawara Nagakiyo]] ([[1162]]-[[1242]]), a grandson of [[Takeda Yoshikiyo]] who served [[Minamoto Yoritomo]] during the [[Gempei War]] ([[1180]]-[[1185|85]]). The Ogasawara later served [[Ashikaga Takauji]] and were given land in Shinano Province. In the early stage of the Sengoku Period, the Ogasawara, lords of [[Fukashi castle]], split, with one son going to serve the [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] while the other remained at Fukashi. The Fukashi-Ogasawara were later defeated by [[Takeda Shingen]] on a number of occasions, fleeing to the lands of the [[Uesugi clan|Uesugi]] for sanctuary. The other branch eventually became (largely) loyal [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] retainers.
