The Arakawa clan (荒川氏, Arakawa-shi) was a Japanese samurai family which descended from Minamoto no Tsunemoto (894–961)[1] of the Seiwa-Genji.
[2] Arakawa was the original surname of the family which began calling itself "Ina clan" when it moved to the Ina region in Shinano Province in modern-day Nagano Prefecture.
This move was ordered by the Ashikaga shogunate in the 15th century.
