宇喜多氏 (Ukitake clan) was a prominent samurai family during Japan's Sengoku period. They were known for their strategic prowess and played a significant role in the political landscape of the time. The clan was based in the Bizen province and was influential in regional conflicts. The most notable figure from the 宇喜多氏 was 宇喜多直家 (Ukitake Naotake), who served as a powerful daimyō. Under his leadership, the clan expanded its territory and influence, often engaging in alliances and battles with other clans, such as the 毛利氏 (Mōri clan) and the 豊臣秀吉 (Toyotomi Hideyoshi).
