==Shôgun==

The Ashikaga were descended from [[Minamoto Yoshiie]], whose son [[Minamoto Yoshikuni|Yoshikuni]] settled in the Ashikaga district of Shimotsuke Province. Yoshikuni's first son took the name Nitta while his second took Ashikaga. The Ashikaga became very wealthy under the Hôjô Regents and their defection to the Imperial cause in [[1333]] sealed the Hôjô's fate. [[Ashikaga Takauji]] then turned against [[Emperor Go-Daigo]] and in [[1336]] was named the 1st Ashikaga shôgun. The Ashikaga were seriously weakened after the [[Onin War|Ônin War]] ([[1467]]-[[1477|77]]) and eventually eclipsed by [[Oda Nobunaga]] in [[1573]], who banished the last Ashikaga shôgun, [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki|Yoshiaki]], from [[Kyoto]].
