*''Japanese'': 肝付家 ''(Kimotsuki ke)''
The Kimotsuki clan were descended from officials based in [[Dazaifu]] in the ancient period. In the [[Nanbokucho period|Nanboku-chô period]], they fought for the [[Southern Court]], against the [[Shimazu clan]] of southern Kyushu.
The Kimotsuki expanded their control over the Ôsumi peninsula from a base at Takayama castle (in what is today the town of Kimotsuki, [[Kagoshima prefecture]]), and actively engaged in maritime trade. [[Kimotsuki Kaneoki|Kimotsuki Kaneoki's]] daughter married [[Shimazu Takahisa]], and his son [[Kimotsuki Kanetsugu]] married O-Minami, a daughter of [[Shimazu Tadayoshi (Soshu)|Shimazu Tadayoshi]]. Despite these interconnections between the clans, however, the two became opposed to one another, with the Kimotsuki rising up against the Shimazu in [[1506]]. Kanetsugu's son [[Kimotsuki Yoshikane]] married a daughter of the [[Ito clan (伊東)|Itô clan]], and also opposed the Shimazu, but died of illness in [[1571]]. His younger brother, [[Kimotsuki Kanesuke]], then became head of the clan and continued to fight the Shimazu, but was exiled to [[Hyuga province|Hyûga province]] by his mother, Shimazu O-Minami.
A branch family of the Kimotsuki submitted to the Shimazu in [[1574]], followed by the main branch, becoming Shimazu retainers. In the [[Edo period]], the Kimotsuki were granted Kiire as their [[subinfeudation|sub-fief]].
