Ashikaga and Azuchi–Momoyama periods
Around 1400 Tosa was controlled by Hosokawa clan, associates of the Ashikaga shoguns.
In 16th century Tosa was a base of the Chōsokabe clan, that under Chōsokabe Motochika briefly (1583-1585) controlled the entire island of Shikoku. Defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1585, Chōsokabe fought for him in Kyushu and Korea. The next daimyo Chōsokabe Morichika joined the western host at Sekigahara. He was removed from the province by a victorious Tokugawa Ieyasu, who granted the domain to Yamauchi Kazutoyo in 1600.
The Chōsokabe clan retainers were mutinous, while peasants feared increased exploitation under the new lord and many fled across to the neighboring domains. Yamauchi Kazutoyo came in with only 158 mounted men, and had to petition bakufu for help in pacifying his new domain. This was acheaved by "ruse and violence… Two boatloads containing 273 heads were sent to Tokugawa headquarters to demonstrate Yamauchi efficiency, and another 73 dissidents were crucified on the beach.”
