The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a Japanese family descended from the Minamoto clan (Seiwa Genji) line's Toki branch.[1]

History

The family, with holdings in the Fuwa district of Mino Province, was founded by Iwate Shigeuji, who was the first to take the name Takenaka.[1]

Perhaps most famed during the headship of the strategist Takenaka Shigeharu (Hanbei), the family became hatamoto under Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Edo era.[2] Takenaka Shigekata, the family head in the Bakumatsu era, was a famous field commander during the Boshin War.

A branch of the Takenaka family was until 1634 daimyō of the Takada and then Funai Domains (Bungo Province), before having its lands returned to the Shogunate.
