A feudal Japanese clan founded by Kuniuji Imagawa. After the death of Yoshimoto at the battle of Okehazama in 1560, many Imagawa officers defected to other clans. Within a decade the clan had lost all of its land holdings to the Tokugawa and Takeda clans. The Imagawa subsequently became the master of ceremonies for the Tokugawa.

ImagawaYoshimoto was the daimyô of Suruga and Tôtomi and, later, Mikawa Provinces until 1560.
Yoshimoto himself was said to have had the habit of shaving his eyebrows and flening his teeth in the manner of a Kyoto noble; one of his wives was of noble blood and is said to have assisted him in this area.
Yoshimoto composed the Imagawa kana mokuroku tsuika (expanding on house rules left by Ujichika) in 1553.
