That is a rediculously long name.
2. People say, it won't have to be like that, well how will the Samurai keep in touch? toguilds don't work through different tags, and Stefan/Unix have a lot more to worry about than figuring out a way for the clans in Samurai to keep "close" in touch.
3. Feivel isn't going to work out a clan system, and since I never liked the idea from the beginning, I won't either. It's too much work, as if the Samurai kingdom itself isn't. Clans just make things more complicated than they already are. I
4. Iskuguri can go on, but it'll never be accepted as a faction of Samurai unless they merge with us. I highly doubt Stefan/Unix will make them an official kingdom, since Samurai is already the Japanese themed kingdom.
5. I'm the official Emperor of Samurai, and what I say goes. If you don't like it, present the clans in any orderly way, that wouldn't screw any of the above things. Don't say tags could be: Iskuguri Kaji Hiyoshi Shimoda of (Samurai), because that too is too long. I don't want your ideas on the clans either. I want a completely organized system, not bits and pieces, because bits and pieces just make me not want it anymore.
Unless someone comes up with a good answer to number 5, or something lays it out for me in my head (which it won't), then Samurai stays as one Kingdom, united as a whole, with no clans at all. This is straight from the computer of the official Emperor. End.

That's cold
But here is just an idea for you and for the people who want clans.
On the Samurai island you can have three Provinces. Which means you'll have three Shoguns. In order to identify people and their clans you can read their last name
Lets say Clan 1 Is the Capital Province...
and all last names between A-H are in that province.
Last names between I-P are in the second province
And the rest are in the thrid province.
So if we have Yi Yoshi (Last name is the first name in Japanise Culture and I suggest the Samurai use it

) then he'll be in the third province.
OR you could have a Roman type Clan system
Hiyoshi Shimoda would be Hiyoshi Kaji Shimoda of (Samurai)
