Takigawa

The Takigawa clan (滝 川 氏?) Is a Japanese clan in Owari province whose origins are unknown but we know that thanks to Takigawa Kazumasu the clan was important in the sixteenth century during the Sengoku period. Kazumasu is a general under the command of Oda Nobunaga and later under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Kazumasu's death, the clan loses its importance.
