The Imagawa clan, a branch of the Minamoto clan, originated in the mid-12th century when the Ashikaga shogunate separated from the Kira family. The clan's origins are debated, but some believe it was due to the Ashikaga's desire for a separate family from official positions. The clan's founder is Kuniuji, but other warriors with the same name also held high regard. Norinobu was the last leader, and the clan ended in 1887. The hikiryou, a horizontal line with various meanings, is believed to represent the splitting of a human soul, a dragon and its tail, or the sun and moon. The akaitori, a red chicken, is believed to have been fashioned after a woman's comb or a woman's robes.
