The Edo clan (Japanese: 江戸氏, Edo-shi) was a Japanese samurai family who first fortified the settlement known as Edo, which would later become Tokyo. The Imperial Palace now stands at this location.[1][2]
The clan was a branch of the Taira clan. During the Azuchi–Momoyama period, the clan was renamed the Kitami clan.
