Hiki clan
The Hiki clan (比企氏, Hiki-shi) was a Japanese samurai family descending from the Fujiwara clan. As close retainers of shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo, they served the Kamakura shogunate during the early Kamakura period, wielding considerable power. However, after they came into conflict with the Hōjō clan, the clan was ultimately destroyed.
