*''Japanese'': 禰寝家 ''(Nejime ke)''
The Nejime clan were descendants of officials of [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]] going back to ancient times. In the 14th century, they played a prominent role in fighting alongside the [[Shimazu clan]] in supporting [[Ashikaga Takauji]] and the [[Northern Court]] in the wars of the [[Nanbokucho period|Nanboku-chô period]].
From the [[Muromachi period]] onward, the Nejime focused on controlling trade. [[Nejime Shigehira]] in particular was active in trade with [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]] and China.
In the 16th century, members of the [[Ito clan (伊東)|Itô]], [[Kimotsuke clan|Kimotsuke]], and [[Tanegashima clan]]s became embroiled in succession disputes over the headship of the Shimazu clan. After this, the Nejime and Kimotsuke rose up against the Shimazu. They attempted an amphibious attack on [[Kagoshima]] in [[1571]] but were rebuffed; the Shimazu defeated the Itô in the [[battle of Kizakihara]] the following year. Realizing their situation was dire, the Nejime capitulated to the Shimazu the next year, in [[1573]], becoming Shimazu retainers.
In the [[Edo period|early modern period]], one branch of the Nejime clan changed its name to Komatsu.
