1. Rusu clanThe Rusu clan were a Japanese clan which claimed descent from Fujiwara Kaneie's son Michikane. They assumed the name Rusu following Minamoto no Yoritomo's conquest of northern Japan; the family, then named Isawa, were entrusted with keeping watch in the north during Yoritomo's absence (rusu being the Japanese word for "absence"). In the 14th century Nanboku-chō Period, the family joined the forces of Kitabatake Akiie and fought with distinction at Tsugaru and Shirakawa.
