Asakura is a Clan in Nioh2. Players can pledge their allegiance to a Clan at the Hidden Teahouse to acquire passive Special Effects that affect all Characters linked to the account.

The Asakura clan was based in Echizen Province (modern-day Fukui prefecture). Its most celebrated leader is Asakura Yoshikage.
Under the advice of the renowned general Asakura Soteki, Yoshikage constructed Ichijodani Castle at a strategic point in Hokurikudo and brought great prosperity to the region. When Oda Nobunaga began to make great strides with his campaign, the Asakura joined forces with the Azai clan of Omi Province (modern-day Shiga prefecture) to stand against him. During the Battle of Anegawa (which took place in modern-day Nagahama, Shiga prefecture), even the heroic efforts of the mighty Magara Naotaka, who wielded an enormous odachi on the battlefield, were insufficient to stave off the Asakura clan's defeat. It was in this battle against the Oda clan's troops that the Asakura clan met its end.
The Asakura crest, which consists of three flowering quince blossoms, symbolizes the hope of success for one's lineage. The Oda clan utilizes a similar crest.
