Yūki family



The Yūki family (結城氏, -shi) was a Japanese samurai clan comprised of two branches: the Shimousa Yūki and the Shirakawa Yūki. Descended from the famous kuge (court noble) Fujiwara no Hidesato, the clan became split during the Nanboku-chō Wars of the 14th century, in which one branch supported the Southern Imperial Court, and the other branch the Northern Pretenders.
