*''Japanese'': 惟宗家 ''(Koremune ke)''
The Koremune clan were a [[samurai]] clan originally from [[Sanuki province]] on [[Shikoku]].
The Koremune are said to have been descendants of members of the [[Hata clan]] who settled in Sanuki. They relocated to [[Kyoto]], and in the 9th century took on the name "Koremune." From the [[Heian period]] onwards, many members of the clan became famous jurists or physicians; a number of members of the clan were significant practitioners of ''[[onmyodo|onmyôdô]]''. From the medieval period onwards, the Koremune served the Imperial court.
[[Shimazu Tadahisa]], founder of the [[Shimazu clan]], was either the son or step-son of [[Koremune Hirokoto]] and Tango no Tsubone. Hirokoto served the [[Konoe family]], who granted Tadahisa administrative authority over a large ''[[shoen|shôen]]'' in Kyushu, known as [[Shimazu-sho|Shimazu-shô]], in [[1185]]. It was from this that Tadahisa took on the Shimazu name, and founded the clan.
