English: The real family line is not clear, as there are many different theories; in one theory, the relation with Tsuguo ANDO and (安藤三) of Shinano Province mentioned in "Hogen Monogatari" (The Tale of the Hogen War) is pointed out, while in another theory, the relation with Shiro ANDO of Misawa that appears in "Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East) is pointed out.
Japanese: その実際の家系については、『保元物語』に登場する信濃国の安藤次、安藤三との関係などを指摘する説、『吾妻鏡』に登場する三沢安藤四郎との関係などを指摘する説もあるが分かっていない。
English: The Akita clan, a former viscount family and the descendant of the Ando clan, had handed down a legend that, the Akita clan was the descendant of Abihiko, Nagasunehiko's older brother, however, it is considered to have little credibility due to the possibility that it was influenced by "Soga Monogatari" (The Tale of Soga), the tale written in the eeriest days of the Muromachi period, in which the ancestor of Emishi (northerners) was claimed to be Abihiko.
Japanese: 安東氏の後裔である旧子爵秋田氏には、長髄彦の兄である安日彦の子孫という伝承が残っているが、これは蝦夷の祖を安日に求めた室町期成立の『曽我物語』の影響を受けている可能性が高いため、信憑性は低いと考えられている。
English: However, it is certain that the Ando clan itself handed down this tradition that they were Emishi's descendent, and the fact that they themselves handed down the genealogical record that they were the descendent of 'Emperor's enemy,' shows a unique recognition on the genealogy in the northern Ou region.
Japanese: ただし、自らを蝦夷の子孫と伝承してきたことは確かであり、「朝敵」の子孫であるとする系図を伝えてきたことが、北奥地方に独特の系譜認識を示すものとされている。
English: In the recent studies, the following things are assumed: the clan was a jinin (associates of Shinto shrines) at Ichinomiya Shiogama-jinja Shrine in Mutsu Province, in charge of the management of the shrine estate of Shiogama-jinja Shrine, it can be understppd that it was a local ruling lord which had certain characters of 'Kaimin' (maritime people) as well as 'sanmin' (mountain people) according to the historical materials in which the clan's name registered as 'Tsugaru Sanzoku' (bandit of Tsugaru).
Japanese: 近年の研究では、陸奥国一宮鹽竈神社の神人であり鹽竈神社の神領の管理をしていたこと、「津軽山賊」と記載された史料があること等から、「海民」、「山民」としての性格を持つ豪族であったとも推定されている。
English: According to "Horyakukanki" (A History Book of the 14th century in Japan), around the era of Yoshitoki HOJO, Goro ANDO was assigned to the eastern Ezo to control the region, and according to "Suwa Daimyojin Ekotoba," Andota was appointed to Ezo kanrei (a shogunal deputy in Ezo).
Japanese: 『保暦間記』によると北条義時の頃、安藤五郎が東夷地の支配として置かれたとされ、『諏訪大明神絵詞』では安藤太が蝦夷管領となったとされている。
English: Based on these historical materials, it is thought that the Ando clan was appointed to the administrator of Ezo (Ezosata daikan [local governor]) as a hikan (bureaucrat) (Miuchibito) of the head family of Hojo clan (Tokuso [the patrimonial head of the main branch of the Hojo clan]), which had an extensive territory in Mutsu Province from the mid-Kamakura period, and then through the Hojo clan, the Ando clan came to be controlled under the Kanamura bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun).
Japanese: これらの史料から安東氏は、鎌倉中期頃から陸奥に広範囲の所領を有した北条氏宗家（得宗）の被官（御内人）として蝦夷の統括者（蝦夷沙汰代官職）に任ぜられ、北条氏を通じて鎌倉幕府の支配下に組み込まれていったものと考えられている。
English: In 'Shuju onfurumai Gosho' (On the Buddha's Behavior) of "Nichiren Ibun" (Documents on the Venerable Nichiren), there is a following description about an event as of 1275.
Japanese: また、『日蓮遺文』の「種種御振舞御書」には建治元年（1275年）のこととして次の記載がある。
English: Goro ANDO, was an excellent person who advocated the reason of cause and effect and constructed temples and pagodas, and how on earth he could be allowed the 'Emishi' to take his head.'
Japanese: 「安藤五郎は因果の道理を弁へて堂塔多く造りし善人也。いかにとして頸をばゑぞにとられぬるぞ。」
English: Some researchers interpret this as the fact that he had forced Buddhism to the Ainu, however, others suppose that the Ando clan that lead the Ainu might have been defeated by Yuan Dynasty because the Yuan's attack against the Ainu in Sakhalin (Karafuto) Island around that time was documented, and therefore, the word 'Emishi' here might indicate the northern foreign people in general, and not meaning precisely the Ainu.
Japanese: これを、アイヌに仏教を強要したためとする意見もあるが、この頃元(王朝)が樺太アイヌを攻撃したことが元史に記録されており、ここでいう「ゑぞ」をアイヌではなく広く北方の異民族と解し、安藤氏がアイヌを率いて元に討たれたのではないかと推察する説もある。
English: Afterwards, the Ando clan is said to have been prosperous placing its home base in Tosaminato, Tsugaru Province through the time from the late Kamakura period to the Period of the Northern and Southern Courts, however, the period of time in which the clan was dominating Tosaminato can not be precisely determined because of various estimates.
Japanese: その後、鎌倉時代末期から南北朝時代を通し津軽十三湊を本拠地とし栄えたと言われるが、十三湊を支配した時期については諸説あり確定していない。
English: Recent years, comparative studies on the Chikama clan in the West and the Ando clan in the East, both of which were Tokuso's bureaucrats taking charge of the respective peripheral border in the east and in the west of the medieval nation, have developed and it is revealed that both of them had a huge extension of the territory compared with the samurai groups in the center, and their territories were even reaching outside the national territory.
Japanese: 近年、中世国家の東西境界周辺の得宗被官である、西の千竈氏と東の安東氏の比較検討研究が進み、ともに中央部の武士団に比べて所領面積が広大であり、国家の境界外に及んでいる点が指摘されている。
English: The Ando clan's territory, which was extended on the land infeasible for cultivation, and the profits gained from the inner land was scarce, however, the clan was gripping key ports along the coast, which had possibility to provide the clan an enormous benefit through a large-scale trading net in the Sea of Japan, and in this sense, the clan can be considered as a maritime local ruling family.
Japanese: 安東氏の所領は稲作には必ずしも適さない土地に広がっており、その内陸部から得る利益は少ないものの、日本海に大きな交易網を形成することにより多大な経済的利益を得ることが可能な沿岸部の良港を押さえていたことから、海の豪族とする見方がされている。
English: The influence of the clan extended even to Ezo crossing over the Tsugaru Straits, and the clan appointed Watari-to (the group of immigrants) settled in the south part of Ezogashima Islands (generally they are said to have come from the mainland, but there are different theories) as its hikan (low-level bureaucrat).
Japanese: その勢力は津軽海峡を跨いで蝦夷地に及び、蠣崎氏ら蝦夷島南部の渡党（一般的には和人勢力とされているが疑問も呈されている）を被官とした。
English: In the late Kamakura period, the clan had an internal conflict, and after Takatoki HOJO replaced Suenaga ANDO by Suenaga's cousin Suehisa ANDO as Ezo kanrei in 1325, the conflict resulted in a rebellion against the bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun, in this case the Kamakura bakufu) (Ezo War).
Japanese: 鎌倉時代末期には一族で争いが起こり、正中(元号)2年（1325年）に北条高時が蝦夷管領を安藤季長から従兄弟である安藤季久に代えると、争乱は幕府への反乱に発展する（蝦夷大乱）。
English: The clan was hunted down by the bakufu in 1326, but in 1328 it was reconciled.
Japanese: 翌嘉暦元年（1326年）には幕府から追討を受け、嘉暦3年（1328年）に和睦する。
English: There is an observation that this was a conflict concerning the peace policy after the war between the Ainu and Yuan that took place in 1264 and ended in 1308.
Japanese: この争いを、文永元年（元の至元(元世祖)元年/1264年）から徳治3年（元の至大元年/1308年）にかけての骨嵬（アイヌ）と元との交戦後の講和を巡る方針争いによるとする見解がある。
English: It is supposed that, the Ando clan's territory during the late Kamakura period to the period of the Northern and Southern Courts consisted of the major part of the coastal regions except for the vicinity of current Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, according to the documents such as a letter of concession by Munenori ANDO (the widely-accepted theory is that it was the same person as the above mentioned Suehisa) and Akiie KITABATAKE's certificate for the land directed to Morosue ANDO, in which it is mentioned that the clan was in charge of Jitoondaikan (deputy military governor) in Kinuka-jima, Shirihiki-go and Ikunobe-go, Ezo no sata of Hanawa County, Mutsu Province and in Usori-go, Nakahama-mimaki and Minato Tsugaru-nishihama of Nukabe County, Mutsu Province, and others.
Japanese: 鎌倉末期から南北朝時代における安東氏の支配領域は、安藤宗季（上記の季久とする説が有力）による譲り状や安藤師季に対する北畠顕家安堵状によると、陸奥国鼻和郡絹家島、尻引郷、行野辺郷、蝦夷の沙汰、糠部郡宇曾利郷、中浜御牧、湊、津軽西浜以下の地頭御代官職となっており、現在の青森県地方のうち八戸近辺を除く沿岸部のほとんどと推定されている。
English: Among the territories, the ownership of which was authorized by the above mentioned documents, does not include either Tosaminato or Fujisaki-cho, which was the clan's place of origin according to the genealogy, however, there are several interpretations on the names of these documents, for example, 'Minato' means Tosaminato, Tosaminato is included in 'Ezonosata' or included in 'Tsugaru-nishihama' (in the latter, Minato [harbor] is interpreted as Ohata-gyoko [fishery harbor]), etc.
Japanese: 上記で安堵された所領には、十三湊も、系図により本来の根拠地とされている藤崎町も含まれていないが、「湊」を十三湊とする見解、十三湊は「蝦夷の沙汰」に含まれるとする見解、「津軽西浜」に含まれるとする見解（「湊」は大畑漁港と見る）などがある。
English: On the other hand, there is an assumption that as the Oga Peninsula of Dewa Province became the Hojo clan's territory after the Tachibana clan lost its control over the peninsula in the mid-Kamakura period, the Ando clan took the position of jitodai (provisional jito) of the territory, and supposes the existence of a branch Ando family, other than the head family, which had an extensive influence over the marine area.
Japanese: 一方で鎌倉中期から橘氏の支配を離れた出羽男鹿半島が北条氏の所領となり、安東氏がその地頭代となったのではないかとする説もあり、宗家とは別の安東一族の海を通じた広がりが推定されている。
English: In addition, a public organization in Aomori Prefecture once tried to make use of the remarkable history of the Ando clan for a project to promote the economic development of the area, based on an apocrypha "Tsugaru Sangun-shi" (The history of the three countries in Tsugaru region).
Japanese: なお一時期、青森県の公共団体が、偽書『東日流外三郡誌』の記載に基づき、安東氏の活躍を村おこしに繋げようとする試みをしたことがある。
English: However, at present, the following view is established and even a report issued by the Agency of Education of Aomori Prefecture cited; '"Tsugaru Sangun-shi," which was used for a while as a reference in public reports or academic articles, is concluded to be a falsified document.' and thus this document is commonly recognized as an apocryphal book.
Japanese: が、現在では青森県教育庁発行の報告書にも「なお、一時公的な報告書や論文などでも引用されることがあった『東日流外三郡誌』については、捏造された偽書であるという評価が既に定着している。」と記載されるなど、偽書であるとの認識は一般的になっている。
English: Although the detailed background is unknown, it is supposed that in Muromachi period the clan was divided into two families, Shimonokuni (lower province) family and Kaminokuni (upper province) family and they were opposed to each other.
Japanese: 経緯の詳細は不明であるが、室町時代に入ると下国（しものくに）と上国（かみのくに）の二家に分かれ対立したと見られている。
English: The Kaminokuni family ruled Ogashima in Dewa Province (present Oga City, Akita Prefecture) and Tsuchizaki Port (present Akita City, Akita Prefecture), and later it came to control the whole Akita Country and called its residence Akita-jo Castle.
Japanese: 上国家は出羽小鹿島や土崎港（現秋田県秋田市）を領し、後に秋田郡を制して秋田城を称した。
English: On the other hand, the Shimonokuni family, which ruled Tsugaru Province, was forced out by the Nanbu clan, which was proceeding from the eastern area, to expand its influence.
Japanese: 一方、津軽を領した下国家は15世紀半ば頃、東の八戸市方面から勢力を伸ばしてきた南部氏に追われた。
English: Although the family, which once escaped to Ezogashima Islands, recovered the territory by the arbitration of the Muromachi bakufu, it had to withdraw again to Ezo, and afterwards, the family went down to Dewa Province and finally occupied the west half of the farthest northern area of Dewa Province to the southern area of Ezo, with its headquarters in Hiyama Country (Dewa Province) (present Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture).
Japanese: いったん蝦夷島に逃れた後室町幕府の調停で復帰したものの再度蝦夷地に撤退、更に出羽に移り檜山郡(出羽国)（現秋田県能代市）を中心に出羽最北部西半から蝦夷地南部を領した。
English: Based on the excavation carried out recent years at the site of Tosaminato, Tosaminato is supposed to have been most prosperous from the mid-14th century to the early 15th century, and this observation is consistent with the historical references.
Japanese: 近年の発掘結果からは、十三湊遺跡の最盛期は14世紀半ばから15世紀前半と推測されており、文献資料と矛盾しない結果となっている。
English: It is also supposed that the Shimonokuni family and the Kaminokuni family were each in charge of Ezo kanrei in the northern border with Mutsu Province and the northern border with Dewa Province, respectively.
Japanese: 下国家と上国家は、それぞれ陸奥国北辺と出羽国北辺で蝦夷管領の役割を果たしていたとも推察されている。
English: From around this time, their surname 'Ando' came to be written frequently as '安東,' rather than '安藤,' however, the reason is not known.
Japanese: この頃から「安藤」の表記を「安東」とする例が多くなるが理由は明らかでない。
English: In addition, according to an observation, both Ando families were positioned in the family rank entitled yakata (an honorific title) within the Muromachi bakufu's daimyo (feudal lords) policy in Ou Province, as being used in order to maintain the feudal order of the region.
Japanese: 更に、室町幕府の奥羽大名施策において、両安東氏を屋形を称する家柄として秩序立てていたとする見解もある。
English: It is known that the time before the provincial capital relocation to the south in Dewa Province, Yasusue ANDO reconstructed the Haga-ji Temple in Wakasa Province, and he proclaimed himself Oshu Tosaminato Hinomoto Shogun (general of Tosaminato, Oshu Province, Japan), and the emperor also permitted him to use the denomination.
Japanese: 出羽南遷前の安藤康季は若狭国羽賀寺の再建に際して奥州十三湊日之本将軍と称し、天皇もその呼称を認めていたということが知られている。
English: However, the pedigree of the Shimonokuni family before the time of Morisue varies depending on the various family trees, and as some of the names that appear in some family trees do not concord with the names that appear in the first class historical materials, the credibility of these genealogical records is questioned and the reality is still under study.
Japanese: が、盛季以前の下国家の系譜は諸系図によりまちまちであり、一級史料に見える名と系図の名が一致しない等系図の信憑性に疑問が持たれているため、実態については、いまだ研究の途上にある。
English: The authenticity of the genealogical record after Morisue ANDO seems almost certain, although there are various theories about the years of birth and death of these family members.
Japanese: 安藤盛季以降の系譜については生没年等に諸説あるものの、ほぼ疑いのないものと考えられている。
English: Masasue ANDO was originally from a branch family, Shiokata Ando family, but he came to be a captive of the Nanbu clan around the time when the Shimonokuni family had to withdrew from Ezogashima Islands, and soon he was enfeoffed Tanabe (Mutsu City), the Nanbu Navy's home base, and called himself 'Andota.'
Japanese: 安東政季は分家の潮潟安藤家出身であったが、下国家の蝦夷島撤退のころ南部氏の捕虜となり、まもなく南部水軍の根拠地であった田名部（むつ市）を知行し「安東太」を称した。
English: According to one theory, the Nanbu clan used Masasue as a puppet player, to control the Ando line families settled in a wide range of the northern maritime area, and this policy contributed to the stabilization of the northern maritime area and the penetration of the bakufu's influence into this area, and from this point, the Shimonokuni family was discontinued and the Hiyama Ando clan emerged from Masasue ANDO of Shiokata, in return.
Japanese: これを、南部氏が政季を傀儡とし北方海域の各地に広く分布していた安藤氏の同族を掌握したため、北方海域の安定化と幕府権威の浸透につながったとし、このとき下国家は断絶し潮潟安藤政季から新たに檜山安東氏が始まるとしている説がある。
English: According to "Shinra no Kiroku," Masasue then set up the post of Sanshugoshoku as daikan (local governor) to carry out decentralized control (Dokan Juni Tate [12 castles of the Oshima Peninsula]), however, according to another observation, Iemasa ANDO or Sadasue ANDO practically controlled alone as Shugo.
Japanese: このとき、三守護職を代官として設置した（道南十二館）ことが『新羅之記録』に記載されているが、実態は安東家政或いは安東定季が一人守護として統括していたとする見解も出されている。
English: From the generation of Masasue ANDO, the Shimonokuni family, settled in Hiyama Country of Dewa Province (Dewa Province), an adjoining area of Tsugaru, was keen to return to the Tsugaru region, but the family could not realize this wish.
Japanese: 下国家は安東政季以降、津軽と隣接する出羽国檜山郡(出羽国)を本拠地とし、津軽帰還を試みたが果たせなかった。
English: In 1456, Masasue ANDO and his son Tadasue defeated Hidekiyo KASAI who was ruling 'Kahokusenmachi' (河北千町), and set up their home base there.
Japanese: 1456年（康正2年）、「河北千町」を領していた葛西秀清を政季・安東忠季父子が滅ぼしてここに本拠を構えた。
English: The site of the Hiyama Ando clan's castle, is which Masasue began constructing and Tadasue completed the restoration in 1495.
Japanese: 政季が築城を開始して忠季が1495年（明応4年）頃に修築を完了したのが、檜山安東氏城館跡である。
English: After that, the castle was used by Hirosue ANDO, Kiyosue ANDO, Chikasue ANDO, Sanesuke AKITA as the headquarters of the Hiyama Ando clan of Shimonokuni family during five generations, and it seems that the clan extended its influence toward Hinai as well as Ani in Mutsu Province, using the castle as its stronghold.
Japanese: 以後、安東尋季、安東舜季、安東愛季、秋田実季まで5代にわたり下国家檜山安東氏の居城となり、ここを本拠に陸奥国比内、同国阿仁方面に勢力を拡大したと見られる。
English: It is supposed that from this point, Hinai and Ani came to be treated as a part of Dewa Province.
Japanese: 比内と阿仁が出羽国の一部として扱われるようになったのは、これ以後と推定される。
English: The Ando clan as from Tadasue's generation, was engaged in the management of Ezogashima under the name of Hiyama Yakata, while constructing the Hiyama-jo Castle and temples.
Japanese: 忠季以降の安東氏は、檜山築城や寺院建立を行う一方で蝦夷島の経営にも努め檜山屋形と称した。
English: However, Ezogashima began to leave from the Ando clan's control, and as a result, in the earlier Sengoku Period the clan degraded practically to a mere local ruling lord in the northern Dewa Province, as particularly the clan had to echo the fact that the Kakizaki clan, who had been the hikan in Ezo, proclaimed its position of Matsumae shugo (military governor of Matsumae) as well as Kaminokuni shugo.
Japanese: しかし、次第に蝦夷島が安東氏の統制から離れ始め、特に蝦夷において被官であった蠣崎氏が上国守護職に加えて松前守護職を名乗ったことを追認せざるを得なくなるなど、戦国時代(日本)前期には実質上北出羽の一豪族となった。
English: However, Shimonokuni family still did not give up the attempt to continue controlling where was once its sphere of influence, and tried to display the controlling range from the northern Mutsu Province to Ezo, by proclaiming itself Tokai Shogun (general of Tokai) within and outside the territory (About this, there are some contradictions).
Japanese: しかし、下国家はなおもかつての勢力圏の支配の意欲を捨てておらず、東海将軍を称して内外に出羽、陸奥北部から蝦夷にかけての支配圏を誇示しようとした（これには否定的見解も出されている。）。
English: Kiyosue especially, demonstrated a certain presence over Ezo, by visiting Ezo region to mediate the peace accord between the Kakizaki clan and the Ainu.
Japanese: 特に舜季は蝦夷地に渡り蠣崎氏とアイヌとの講和を仲介するなど蝦夷に対する一定の権威を示している。
English: On the other hand, there is a theory that the family assigned the Sekido clan as daikan (local governor) of Obama City, where was a maritime trade hub in the Japan Sea at that time, and extended the space of its activities even beyond the northern Japan Sea.
Japanese: 一方で日本海海運の拠点であった小浜市に代官関戸氏を置いていたとの見解もあり、北日本海に止まらない活動範囲も指摘されている。
English: The studies on the origin of the Kaminokuni family so far had been made based on the articles documented with the genealogical record, in which Kanosue ANDO was the first person who entered Minato in Dewa Province.
Japanese: 上国家の成立について、従来の説は安藤鹿季が出羽湊に入ったとの系図記載記事を踏襲したものであった。
English: The theory to point out the possibility that the Ando family had been already settled in Akita Country before the supposed time of the Minato family's establishment, based on such findings; the family's history can be dated back even earlier period than the time of Magogoro ANDO and Andota, both of whom are confirmed as the territorial lords of the Oga Peninsula, and also earlier than the time of the legendary Kanosue's Nansen (provincial capital's relocation to the south), about which Jakuzo, Tadasue ABE, Joso ABE, etc. described in the copy of Jisha shuzo munefuda (ridge tag with history of the reparation and construction of temples and shrines) compiled in 'Ichikawa Minato Monjo' (The letter of Ichikawa Minato), and that there is an oral tradition in which a family called the Onagawa family was the territorial lord of the Oga Peninsula before the Minato family.
Japanese: 男鹿半島の領主として確認される安藤孫五郎、安東太の両者や、「市川湊文書」に含まれている寺社修造棟札写に残る寂蔵、安倍忠季、安倍浄宗等が鹿季の南遷と伝えられている時代以前に遡れること、湊家以前の男鹿半島の領主を女川家と伝える伝承があること等から、湊家の成立と伝えられる以前に安東一族が秋田郡に土着していた可能性を指摘する見解
English: And, the theory to regard Suenaga as the ancestor of the Kaminokuni family, who was discarded to be the heir of the family because of the Ezo War in the late Kamakura period.
Japanese: 鎌倉末期に蝦夷大乱において惣領から退けられた季長を上国家の祖と見なす見解。
English: Based on the historical materials, the following facts were confirmed; the Kaminokuni family usually used the name of Minato family, and at latest in the Tenmon era, the family was raised to Kyoto fuchishu (warriors from Kanto or Tohoku region in the Muromachi Period, who served Seii taishogun in Kyoto under a direct master-servant relationship), and that, the family had a certain connection with the central government as associating with Hongan-ji Temple and the Hosokawa clan, and the family proclaimed itself 'Saemon no suke' (assistant captain of the Left Division of Outer Palace Guards) for generations.
Japanese: 上国家は、一般的に湊家と称し、遅くとも天文(元号)年間には京都扶持衆となっていること、代々「左衛門佐」を名乗り本願寺や細川氏とも誼を通じるなど中央との交流があったこと等が史料から確認されていること。
English: For the pedigree also, although the handed-down genealogy roughly concord with the historical materials kept by the Nanbu clan, it does not concord with the years estimated based on the description of the above mentioned copy of Shaji shuzo munefuda, thus, including that of the Onagawa family, further research has been expected for the actual state.
Japanese: その系譜についても、伝承されている系図が、南部氏の史料とは概ね一致するものの、前述の寺社修造棟札写から復元される歴代とは異なっており、女川家も含めてその実態については今後の研究が待たれている。
English: In the latter Sengoku Period (Japan), as the existence of the Minato Ando clan of Kaminokuni family was threatened by the lack of the heir, Chikasue ANDO of the Hiyama Shimonokuni family succeeded to the reign of the Minato family also, and integrated the two Ando families, although the detail is unkown.
Japanese: 戦国時代(日本)後期に入ると上国家湊安東氏に後嗣がなく断絶の危機を迎えたため、詳細は不明であるが檜山下国家の安東愛季が湊家をも継承して安東家を統合した。
English: Chikasue, who was associated with Nobunaga ODA, defeated the opposition powers within the territory including Katsuyori ASARI, and swept out the intervention of Daihoji clan from Yuri region.
Japanese: 愛季は織田信長とも誼を通じる一方、浅利勝頼ら領内の反抗勢力を滅ぼし、由利地方から大宝寺氏の干渉を駆逐した。
English: The Ando clan finally succeeded to become a Sangoku daimyo in the late Sengoku Period, ruling over Akita County to Hiyama County (Dewa Province), Kawabe County, and Yuri County.
Japanese: 安東氏は戦国末期になってようやく、秋田郡・檜山郡(出羽国)・河辺郡・由利郡を領有する戦国大名へと脱皮を遂げたのである。
English: In addition, in 1589 the clan moved its home castle from Hiyama to Minato and proclaimed itself Akitajo no suke (provincial governor of Akita-jo Castle in Dewa Province).
Japanese: 更に天正17年（1589年）、居城を檜山から湊へ移し秋田城介を名乗った。
English: During the era of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, it survived as the daimyo of Akita Domain in Dewa Province with a stipend of 52,404 koku crop yield (in addition, as daikan of the directly controlled land by Hideyoshi, it received a stipend of 26,245 koku crop yield), and took charge of supplying cedar panels for the construction of the Fushimi-jo Castle as well as in the Bunroku-Keicho War.
Japanese: 豊臣秀吉時代を出羽国秋田藩52,404石の大名（更に蔵入地26,245石の代官）として生き延び、伏見城築城や文禄・慶長の役の際の杉板供給役を務めた。
English: After the Battle of Sekigahara, in 1602, the clan was transferred to the Hitachi-Shishido Domain in Hitachi Province (present Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture) with a stipend of 50,000 koku crop yield, and furthermore, in 1645 it was transferred to the Miharu Domain in Mutsu Province (present Miharu-cho, Fukushima Prefecture) with 55,000 koku.
Japanese: 関ヶ原の戦い後、慶長7年（1602年）、常陸国常陸宍戸藩（現茨城県笠間市）50,000石に国替となり、さらに正保2年（1645年）には陸奥国三春藩（現福島県三春町）55,000石に移った。
English: Shortly after that, it became the lord of the Miharu Domain of 50,000 koku, after having shared a stipend of 5,000 koku to its branch families, and survived all through the Edo period as a daimyo, and in the Meiji Restoration, it became as a member of the peerage and conferred the title of viscount.
Japanese: まもなく5000石を分家に分与して50,000石の三春藩主として江戸時代を通じ大名として存続し、明治維新に及び華族に列し、子爵を授けられた。
English: For the Hoki Kikuchi clan, local samurai lord in Hoki Province, refer to the 'Kikuchi clan' (Hoki Province).
Japanese: 伯耆国の国人領主、伯耆菊池氏については菊池氏(伯耆国)を参照のこと。
English: The Kikuchi clan was a family settled in Kikuchi Country, Higo Province (Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture) as its home base.
Japanese: 菊池（きくち）氏は、九州の肥後国菊池郡（熊本県菊池市）を本拠としていた一族である。
English: The Kikuchi clan proclaimed itself that the family originated from that FUJIWARA no Noritaka, the grandson of FUJIWARA no Takaie of Fujiwara-hokke, Dazai no gon no sochi, who came down to Higo Province and settled himself there.
Japanese: 菊池氏は、刀伊入寇に戦功のあった藤原北家大宰権帥藤原隆家の孫藤原則隆が肥後国に下向して土着したと自称した。
