Chiba clan
The Chiba (千葉) clan was a branch family descended from Chiba no Suke , son of Taira no Tadatsune . Historically, they controlled the city of Chiba, outside Tokyo, and also an area called Soma which included the Great Shrine of Ise. In the Genpei Wars of the 12th century, the Chiba clan, along with the other Taira branch families Hojo, Miura, and Doi , were allies of the Minamoto, opposing the greater 'core' Taira clan. However, while they were valued allies to Minamoto no Yoritomo, he did not always trust them.
