The Bannō clan (Tsurushimese: 伴野氏, Bannō-shi or Bannō-uji) is the ruling dynasty of West Enyama under the Bannō Shogunate. The early history of the clan is undocumented, but official claims trace descent to [x] of [x], [x] of [x]. Although not officially considered a clan at the time by administration, the Bannō clan's earliest verified attestation is with the appointment of Bannō Shigeaki to the position of colonel during the 1909 Elatio-Enyaman War. Under the Three Colors' Army's stratocratic reforms of late 2019, the Bannō clan became powerful daimyō of west-central Enyama, under the leadership of current clan leader Bannō Yudo.

The modern history of the clan is directly linked to the Bannō Shogunate, which was officially declared by Bannō Yudo in the aftermath of the swift collapse of the remnants of the New Frontier government led by Muratagi Eijiro. Although initially considered a small warlord state, the shogunate's effectiveness at leveraging grassroots, military subordinate, and Tsurushimese separatist support lent them considerable momentum against the restorationist Three Colors, especially in cities with a plurality of ethnic Tsurushimese such as Takayama, the recently-liberated Karasuna, and the recently-decimated Iwawara.
