In the 16th century, representatives of the Hoshin clan were vassals of the Takeda clan . During the Edo period, the Hoshina clan was divided into two princely lines: one ruled in Aizu Khan (Mutsu Province), and the second - Iino Khan (Kazusa Province).

The daimyo (princes) of the Matsudaira dynasty, who ruled in Aizu Khan , were descended from Hoshin Masayuki (1611–1673), the illegitimate son of Tokugawa Hidetada , the 2nd Japanese shogun from the Tokugawa dynasty. Hoshina Masayuki was adopted by Hoshina Masamitsu (1561-1631), the daimyo of Taco Khan (1590-1600) and Takato Khan (1600-1631).

Matsudaira Katamori (1836–1893) and Hoshina Masaari (1833–1888), two prominent figures from the Bakumatsu period , were members of the Hoshin clan.
