This article is on the Yamazaki family line. For the SNK character, see Ryuji Yamazaki.

The Yamazaki are descendants of a samurai clan from Kawagoe in the Kanto Region. The Yamazaki line dates from the 1700's, and their land was awarded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period.

[edit] Descendants

The Yamazaki family is headed today by the ninth family leader, Akira Yamazaki. Naka, the daughter of the fourth honke was a friend of Tsuru Glover and wife of John Wilson, and the story of her life and marriage is likely contributory to the story Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini.
