Ikoma clan (生駒氏?) was a Japanese clan who served Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu as retainer. Descending from Fujiwara Fusasaki of Northern Fujiwara clan, the clan moved to Owari during the Heian period and adopted the name "Ikoma".
Famous quotes containing the word clan:
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
