Japanese: 現在も地名で、岐阜県土岐市や瑞浪市土岐町などゆかりの地名があり、土岐市の市の花は、桔梗である。
English: They built several residences (such as Otomi yakata and Hitoichiba yakata) there and referred to themselves as the Toki clan.
Japanese: 居館（大富館、一日市場館など）を構えて土岐氏を称したのが始まりである。
English: Although it is not clear who (Kunifusa, MINAMOTO no Mitsukuni, MINAMOTO no Mitsunobu, Mitsuhira TOKI) was the ancestor of the Toki clan due to various theories based on the genealogy and other materials, the theory that Mitsuhira was the ancestor of the Toki clan is the most widely accepted one.
Japanese: 土岐氏の祖については系図類により国房、源光国、源光信、土岐光衡の諸説あってはっきりしないが、光衝を祖とする説が有力である。
English: Mitsuhira lived in the period of Jisho-Juei War, and became Gokenin (a Shogunal retainer) of MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, with the establishment of Kamakura bakufu (a feudal government headed by Yoritomo).
Japanese: 光衝は治承・寿永の乱の時代の人物で、鎌倉幕府の成立にともない源頼朝の御家人になった。
English: Although a book written in the Edo period mentions that Mitsuhira took office as Mino no Shugo (the provincial constable of Mino Province), it is viewed as incredible.
Japanese: 江戸時代の書物に光衝が美濃守護に就任したという記述があるが、信憑性は低い。
English: The position of Mino no Shugo in the Kamakura period was successively taken over by Koreyoshi OUCHI, Korenobu OUCHI, then the members of Hojo clan, and the Utsunomiya clan and the member of Toki clan had never become Shugo during the Kamakura period.
Japanese: 鎌倉時代の美濃の守護は大内惟義、大内惟信その後は北条氏、宇都宮氏であり、鎌倉時代に土岐氏が守護になったことはない。
English: Some books mention about Mitsuyuki TOKI, the son of Mitsuhira, who sided with the Imperial court (the retired Emperor Gotoba) served as Toki hogandai (an adiministrative official of the retired Emperor's office) in Jokyu War in 1221, when Mino province became a main battle field.
Japanese: 承久3年（1221年）の承久の乱では美濃が主戦場となり、京方（後鳥羽上皇方）に「土岐判官代」の名が見え、これを光衝の子の土岐光行とする書物もある。
English: Later, however, Mitsuyuki also appears in "Azuma Kagami,"the historical record of kamakura bakufu, therefore, Mitsutoki Toki, the younger brother of Mitsuyuki could be the person who sided with the Imperial court as Toki hogandai (according to the theory by Kengo Taniguchi, a part-time lecturer of Hosei university).
Japanese: しかしながら光行はこれ以後も幕府の記録の『吾妻鏡』に登場しており、京方の「土岐判官代」は弟の土岐光時と考えられる（谷口研語法政大学兼任講師の説による）。
English: Mitsusada TOKI married the daughter of Sadatoki HOJO, the regent to the Kamakura shogunate, which implies that the Toki clan was in a powerful position in the bakufu.
Japanese: 土岐光定の時に執権北条貞時の娘を妻としており、土岐氏が幕府において有力な地位にあったことが分かる。
