The Ikoma ( Japanese 生 駒 氏 , Ikoma-shi ) were a family of the Japanese sword nobility ( Buke ) , which was derived from Fujiwara no Tokihira. The Ikoma were among the Tozama daimyo .

The family's name comes from the fiefdom in which they originally resided, which today forms the town of Ikoma . Under Iehiro ( 家 広 ), the family settled in Niwa District in Owari Province during the late Muromachi period .

genealogy

  • Chikamasa ( 親 正 ; 1526–1603) was in the service of Toyotomi Hideyoshi . In 1578 he besieged Shichijō Castle in Mimasaka Province , took part in the Battle of Shizugatake in 1583 and in 1584 in that of Komaki. Then he received the fief of Takashima ( Ōmi province ) with an income of 23,000 koku . He was later transferred to Kambe ( Ise Province ) with 41,000 Koku and then in 1587 to Takamatsu Castle ( Sanuki Province ) with 60,000 Koku as well. He took part in the campaign against Odawara Castle in 1590 and in the Korean campaign in 1592 . Hideyoshi named him one of the three Chūrō.
  • Kazumasa ( 一 正 ; 1555–1610), a son of Chikamasas, joined Tokugawa Ieyasu when he was at war with Ishida Kazushige . After the Battle of Sekigahara , his income was increased to 170,000 koku.
  • Masatoshi ( 正 俊 ; 1586–1621), a son of Kazumasas, stood in the clashes in 1600 on the side of the opponents Ieyasu and took part in the campaign against the Hosokawa in Tango Province . His side was beaten, but Ieyasu - taking into account his father's demeanor - forgave him. In 1615 he supported Tōdō Takatora in the siege of the southern part of Osaka Castle .
  • Takatoshi ( 高俊 ; 1611-1659), a son of Masatoshi, followed him as daimyo. Due to his bad administration - the Ikoma riots ( 生 駒 騒 動 Ikoma sōdō ) when it came to a dispute among his vassals - he was deposed in 1640 and exiled to the province of Dewa . There he received the small fief of Yashima and had to be content with a permanent house ( jin'ya ) with a greatly reduced income of 10,000 koku. His descendants resided in Yashima until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. After that, the head was given the title of baron.
