Yamana clan
The Yamana clan was a Japanese samurai clan which was one of the most powerful of the Muromachi period (1336-1467); at its peak, members of the family held the position of Constable (shugo) over eleven provinces. Originally from KĹŤzuke province, and later centered in Inaba province, the clan claimed descendance from the Seiwa Genji line, and from Minamoto Yoshishige in particular.
