History[edit]
Chōsokabe Motochika[3], based at Okō Castle, successfully conquered most of Shikoku, but his expansion was halted by the Toyotomi government's intervention. Subsequently, the Chōsokabe clan[4] was restricted to Tosa Province, managing a fief of 248,300 koku. After relocating to Urato Castle in 1591, Motochika's efforts to establish a strong administrative center were complicated by the continued maintenance of Otakasakayama Castle.[5] Following the death of his heir Chōsokabe Nobuchika, Motochika appointed his fourth son Chōsokabe Morichika as successor[6], but faced internal opposition and purged dissenting vassals. This instability contributed to the clan’s downfall and Morichika's participation in the Western Army during the Battle of Sekigahara[7] also led to the confiscation of Tosa Province in 1600. The Yamauchi clan[8], under Yamauchi Kazutoyo, took control, ultimately relocating the administrative base to Otakasaka Castle (later Kōchi Castle), and abandoning Urato Castle. The Chōsokabe clan's defeat by the Toyotomi clan during the Siege of Osaka marked their final collapse.[9]
