Yūki Munehiro

Kōzuke-no-suke · Shōsanmi (third rank, upper grade)

Yūki Munehiro (1266-1339), son of Yūki Sukehiro and founder of Shirakawa Castle, was the head of the Shirakawa-Yūki branch of southern Mutsu. Initially a loyal vassal of the Hōjō, in charge of affairs in southern Ōshū, he rallied to Emperor Go-Daigo and took part in 1333, together with Nitta Yoshisada, in the capture of Kamakura, which brought the shogunate to an end. A major supporter of Kitabatake Akiie, he marched with him on Kyōto in 1336 against Ashikaga Takauji, then took refuge in Yoshino after the defeat of 1338. Having set out by sea for Ōshū with Kitabatake Chikafusa to revive the Southern Court, he was shipwrecked and died of illness in Ise Province in 1339. His son Chikatomo inherited the Shirakawa lands.
