The Yamazaki clan (山崎氏, Yamazaki-shi), a samurai and aristocratic clan in Japan, was a branch of the [[Uda Genji] and the Sasaki clan and was elevated to the rank of daimyo by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the Kamakura period. Initially serving as the lord of Marugame Domain in Sanuki Province during the early Edo period, they were later deprived of their domain, with a branch remaining as a lower-ranking samurai family. After the Meiji Restoration, they established the Bitchu-Nariwa Domain and were ennobled as a kazoku (baronial) family.
Apart from this Yamazaki clan, there are numerous other Yamazaki clans with different genealogies.

History
Yamazaki Norie served under Sasaki Yoshitaka at Yamazaki Castle in Inukami District, Omi Province, giving rise to the Yamazaki name. Yamazaki Kataie became the lord of the Mita Domain in Settsu Province with 23,000 koku. Yamazaki Iemori became the lord of the Wakasa Domain in Inaba Province with 30,000 koku. His son, Yamazaki Ieharu, was transferred to the Tominoka Domain in Higo Province and then to the Marugame Domain in Sanuki Province. The Marugame Domain was passed down until Yamazaki Haruyori, but the clan lost their status. Yamazaki Toyoharu was granted 5,000 koku and continued the lineage in Inaba, Sanuki Province. Yamazaki Harutoshi petitioned for feudal lord status, adding the Nariwa Domain to reach 12,000 koku after the Restoration of Imperial Rule. The clan was granted over 12,746 koku and the Nariwa Domain was established during the Meiji Restoration. During the Meiji Restoration period, the head of the Yamazaki clan, Yamazaki Harumasa, submitted a petition for the promotion of his feudal status, requesting to add 7,000 koku of land to his existing 12,000 koku, making it a total of 19,746 koku. This petition was granted on May 15th of the first year of the Meiji era, thanks to the recommendation of Prince Yoshiaki of Niinawa Temple, who later became Prince Akinori of Komatsu Palace, stating that the Yamazaki family was a descendant of the Uda Genji clan, which was related to Emperor Uda. In 1869, Yamazaki Harutoshi passed on the clan headship to his legitimate son, who was subsequently ennobled as a member of the peerage. Yamazaki Harutoshi served as the governor of the Naruwa Domain until the abolition of the feudal domains in the fourth year of the Meiji era. In 1884, with the implementation of the Peerage Act, the Yamazaki clan was elevated to the rank of baron within the peerage system.
The Yamazaki clan of Echizen Province
The other Yamazaki clan
The Yamazaki clan of Echizen Province is a branch of the Akamatsu clan. According to the "Yamazaki-kefu" genealogy, a descendant of Akamatsu Ujinao named Hizen-no-kami settled in Yamazaki village in Yamashiro Province and took the village name as his surname. His seventh-generation grandson, Yamazaki Nagatoki, descended to Echizen and served Ashikaga Takakage. The Yamazaki clan, including Yamazaki Yoshie, perished along with the Asakura clan. However, Yamazaki Nagatoku, the sole survivor, served Akechi Mitsuhide and Sakuma Morimasa before becoming a retainer of Maeda Toshinaga, the lord of Kanazawa Domain. From then on, his descendants continued to serve as important retainers of the Maeda clan until the Meiji period.
The Yamazaki clan of Suruga Province and Sagami Province
This is the story of a clan from Suruga Province and Sagami Province.
They were a branch of the Fujiwara clan and received protection from the Takeda clan of Kai and the Imagawa clan of Suruga during the late Muromachi period. Later, this clan was given land near Sunpu by the Imagawa clan and settled in Shizuoka. The main branch, which had received protection, then turned to the Tokugawa clan after the downfall of the Imagawa clan. After the fall of the Hojo clan, they led their followers to develop and settle in the devastated Gokuya region of Odawara. They became the headman responsible for managing the land tax of the Odawara Domain in that region. The clan changed their name, and the followers moved to the surrounding areas as the Yamazaki faction.
The Yamazaki clan from Satsuma Province
The Yamazaki clan of Satsuma Province is said to have originated in the Yamazaki district of Isa County. It is believed that Yamazaki was established as their territory by Yamazaki Shigemochi, the third son of Kito-in. However, with the decline of the Kito-in clan, the Yamazaki clan disappeared from that area. The Kito-in clan, after being defeated by the Shimazu clan, sought refuge with the Ouchi clan and moved to Hyūga and Bungo provinces.
