In the Muromachi bakuhu, Yuhitsu was separated into some roles such as Hakaraikata-yuhitsu, which took charge of the administrative affairs, Tono-yuhitsu, which took charge of writing official documents, and Sakuji-yuhitsu, which took charge of constructing buildings.
なお、室町幕府では、行政実務を担当する計方右筆・公文書作成を担当する外右筆（とのゆうひつ）・作事造営を担当する作事右筆などと言った区別があった。
