Ashikaga clan (Japanese: 足利氏, Ashikaga-shi) was a famous Japanese clan who established the Muromachi shogunate. It was a branch of the Minamoto family and many famous clans came from there including Hosokawa, Imagawa, Kira, Shiba, and Isshiki. After the head family of the Minamoto clan died out during the early Kamakura period, the Ashikaga clan was often considered as the head of Minamoto.
