Daimyo were the most powerful feudal rulers from the 12th century to the 19th century in Japan. The term daimyo literally means "great name." From the shugo daimyo of the Kamakura period through the sengoku daimyo to the daimyo of the Edo period, the rank had a long and varied history. The term daimyo is also sometimes used to refer to the leading figures of such clans, also called "warlords". It was usually, though not exclusively, from these warlords that a shogun arose or a regent was chosen. 

After the Battle of Sekigahara of 1600 that marked the beginning of the Edo period, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu reorganized the clans and their territories, formerly provinces (kuni), into the han, based on their production of rice. Daimyo headed han assessed at 10,000 koku (50,000 bushels = 180 liters) or more. Ieyasu also divided the daimyo into three groups, depending on how close they were to the ruling Tokugawa family: Shinpan daimyo- were collateral relatives of Tokugawa Ieyasu, such as the Matsudaira, or descendants of Ieyasu other than in the main line of succession (several shinpan, including the Tokugawa of Owari [Nagoya], Kii [Wakayama] and Mito, as well as the Matsudaira of Fukui and Aizu, held large han); Fudai daimyo- who had been vassals of the Tokugawa or allies in the battle (some fudai such as the Ii of Hikone, held large han, but many were small. The Shogunate placed many fudai at strategic locations to guard the trade routes and the approaches to Edo. Also, many fudai daimyo took positions in the Edo Shogunate, some rising to the position of Roju. The fact that fudai daimyo could hold government positions while tozama, in general, could not, was a main difference between the two); and Tozama daimyo- who opposed the Tokugawa but were defeated held large fiefs, with the Kaga han of Ishikawa, headed by the Maeda clan, assessed at 1,000,000 koku. Other famous tozama clans included the Mori of Nagato Province (Choshu), the Shimazu of Satsuma, the Date of Sendai, the Uesugi of Yonezawa, and the Hachisuka of Awa (initially, the Tokugawa regarded them as potentially rebellious, but for most of the Edo period, marriages between the Tokugawa and the tozama, as well as control policies such as sankin kotai (the forced 1 year out of 2 spent in Edo, leaving family members behind.

At the end of the 18th century, there were 23 shimpan daimyo, 45 fudai daimyo, and 98 tozama daimyo in Japan, and their total annual income was equivalent to about 19 million koku, while territories directly under the Shongun's control bought in 6.8 million koku.  Although the daimyo had a certain amount of autonomy, they were subject to particular rules, the Laws for Military Households, codified in the Buke-shohatto. Among other obligations, they had to maintain a residence in Edo, remain there one year out of two, and leave their families and vassals in Edo as hostages. Starting in 1639, they no longer had permission to build castles or seaworthy ships, and they had to ensure that Christianity was banned in their territories.

Upset by these controls, and often in bad economic situations because of things like sankin kotai, forced support of public works, and extravagant spending, the daimyo sided against the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Meiji Restoration. During the Meji Restoration of 1868, certain daimyo were appointed governors of their provinces called han. In 1869, the year after the Meiji Restoration, the daimyo, together with the kuge formed a new aristocracy, the kazoku. In Jul 1871, the han were abolished and Japan was divided into prefectures (ken), thus effectively ending the daimyo era. The former daimyo were then given pensions and forced to live in Tokyo. Matsumae was the sole daimyo on Hokkaido and it had a revenue of 30,000 koku.
