The Itakura clan ( Jap. 板倉 氏 Itakura-si ) is a Japanese samurai genus known from the Sengoku period [1] . The clan members claimed that their clan was descended from Sibukawa Yoshiaki, the son of Ashikaga Yasuuji, a relative of the Shogun Ashikaga .

History
Fudai daimyo from the Itakura clan settled in the Mikawa province in the 17th century . The genus claims to be descended from the Saves-Genji line [3] .
The eldest line of the Itakura clan was created in 1609. [2] Itakura Katsusige (1542–1624) in 1601 received the post of Kyoto , which he held for the next twenty years. During this period, Itakura Katsusige significantly increased his rice income allocated to him by the shogunate . His income increased to 40,000 koku , but he did not have his own castle. Katsusige received the honorary title of "Iga-no-kami." Itakura Shigemune (1587–1656), the eldest son of Katsusige, in 1620 received the post of Kyoto (1619–1654). In 1656, Shigemune received possession of the domain Sekiyade Khan in the province of Simos (50,000 koku ). Itakura Shigeso (1619–1662), 2nd daimyo Sekiyade Khan (1656–1661), the eldest son of Shigemune, was known as “Av-no-kami”. His descendants consistently ruled in Kameyama Khan in the province of Ise (from 1669), Toba Khan in the province of Sima (from 1710 ), again in Kameyama Khan in the province of Ise (from 1717 ), and from 1744 to 1868 in Matsuyama Khan in the province of Bittyu (50,000 koku ). During the Meiji period, the head of this clan line received the title of Viscount [3] in the Kadzoku system .
In 1624, the side line of the Itakura clan was distinguished [2] . Itakura Shigemasa (1588-1638), the second son of Itakura Katsusige, in 1624 received possession of the Fukozu Khan domain in Mikawa province (15,000 koku) as a sign of gratitude for his participation during the siege of Osaka Castle in 1615 . Later, Itakura Shigenori (1617–1673), son of Siegemasa, held the posts of Jokai Osaka, Rodju, and Sёdaya Kyoto (1668–1670). In 1672, he took possession of the domain of Katsuyama Khan (60,000 koku) in the province of Shimotsuke. Itakura Sigatane (1640-1705), son of Sigenori, in 1680 received possession of Ivatsuki Khan in Musashi Province, and the following year he was granted Sakaki Khan in Shinano Province. In 1702, Itakura Shigehiro (1669–1721), daimyo Sakaki-khan in the province of Shinano (1683-1702), took possession of Fukushima-khan in the province of Mutsu (80,000 koku). His descendants ruled the Fukushima principality right up to the Meiji Restoration . The head of this line of the Itakura clan in the Meiji period was given the title of Viscount [3] .
In 1661, one more sideline of the Itakura clan [2] separated itself. This year, Itakura Shigetak (1620–1684), the second son of Itakury Shigemune, took possession of Annaka-khan (15,000 koku of rice) in Kodzuke province. He was succeeded in 1686 by his grandson, Itakura Shigeatsu (1679-1717), who in 1702 was transferred to Izumi Khan in the province of Mutsu. In 1746 Itakura Katsukiyo (1706-1780), the 2nd daimyo of Izumi-Khan (1717-1746), was transferred to Sagara Khan in Totomi province (25,000 koku). In 1749, he received possession of Annaka-khan in the province of Kodzuke (30,000 koku). His descendants ruled the principality of Annak until the Meiji Restoration . The head of this line of the Itakura clan in the Meiji period received the title of the Viscount [3] in the Kadzoku system .
Another junior sideline of the Itakura clan emerged in 1683. [2] In 1699, Itakura Shigetak (1667-1713), the adopted son of Itakury Shigenobu (1664-1684), the 1st daimyo Takataki Khan (1683-1684), received possession of Nivase Khan in the province of Bittyu (20,000 koku rice). His descendants owned this domain right up to the Meiji Restoration . The head of this clan line in the Meiji period also received the title of the Viscount [3] .
