The Asahina of [[Suruga province]] were descended from [[Wada Yoshimori]] ([[1147]]-[[1213]]), whose 3rd son Yoshihide adopted the name Asahina. They entered the Sengoku Period as a chief [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] retainer family and were represented by two branches, one of which produced [[Asahina Yasutomo]] while the other was headed by [[Asahina Nobuoki]]. The Asahina became especially important after the Imagawa defeat at [[Battle of Okehazama|Okehazama]] in [[1560]], for afterwards [[Imagawa Ujizane]] came to rely on them to maintain order within his domain. Following the collapse of the Imagawa in [[1569]], the Asahina became vassals of the conquering [[Takeda clan|Takeda]]. When the Takeda were in turn destroyed, surviving Asahina entered the service of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. | The Asahina of [[Suruga province]] were descended from [[Wada Yoshimori]] ([[1147]]-[[1213]]), whose 3rd son Yoshihide adopted the name Asahina.
