They arose from among the <i><a href="/wiki/Shugo" title="Shugo">shugo</a></i> during the <a href="/wiki/Muromachi_period" title="Muromachi period">Muromachi period</a> (approximately 1336–1573). The <i>shugo-daimyo</i> held not only military and police powers, but also economic power within a <a href="/wiki/Provinces_of_Japan" title="Provinces of Japan">province</a>. They accumulated these powers throughout the first decades of the Muromachi period. </p><p>Major <i>shugo-daimyō</i> came from the <a href="/wiki/Shiba_clan" title="Shiba clan">Shiba</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hatakeyama_clan" title="Hatakeyama clan">Hatakeyama</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hosokawa_clan" title="Hosokawa clan">Hosokawa clans</a>, as well as the <a href="/wiki/Tozama" class="mw-redirect" title="Tozama">tozama</a> clans of <a href="/wiki/Yamana_clan" title="Yamana clan">Yamana</a>, <a href="/wiki/%C5%8Cuchi_family" class="mw-redirect" title="Ōuchi family">Ōuchi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Takeda_clan" title="Takeda clan">Takeda</a> and <a href="/wiki/Akamatsu_clan" title="Akamatsu clan">Akamatsu</a>. The greatest ruled multiple provinces. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Ashikaga_shogunate" title="Ashikaga shogunate">Ashikaga shogunate</a> required the <i>shugo-daimyō</i> to reside in <a href="/wiki/Kyoto" title="Kyoto">Kyoto</a>, so they appointed relatives or retainers, called <i><a href="/wiki/Shugodai" title="Shugodai">shugodai</a></i>, to represent them in their home provinces. Eventually, some of these in turn came to reside in Kyoto, appointing deputies in the provinces. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/%C5%8Cnin_War" title="Ōnin War">Ōnin War</a> was a major uprising in which <i>shugo-daimyō</i> fought each other. During this and other wars of the time, <i>kuni <a href="/wiki/Ikk%C5%8D-ikki" title="Ikkō-ikki">ikki</a></i>, or provincial uprisings, took place as locally powerful warriors sought independence from the <i>shugo-daimyo</i>. The deputies of the <i>shugo-daimyō</i>, living in the provinces, seized the opportunity to strengthen their position. At the end of the fifteenth century, those <i>shugo-daimyō</i> who succeeded remained in power.
