*''Japanese'': 龍造寺家 ''(Ryuuzouji-ke)''
The Ryûzôji of [[Hizen province]] may have been descended from [[Fujiwara Hidesato]]. They were retainers of the [[Shoni clan|Shôni]] family until [[Ryuzoji Takanobu|Ryûzôji Takanobu]] overthrew them in [[1553]]. While Takanobu was able to secure most of Hizen Province, his defeat and death at Okitanawate in [[1584]] greatly weakened his clan and they were effectively supplanted by the [[Nabeshima clan|Nabeshima]].
