Kō no Morofuyu

Kō no Morofuyu (高師冬; died 13 February 1351) was a Japanese samurai lord who, together with his cousins Moronao and Moroyasu, was one of shogun Ashikaga Takauji's most important generals during the Nanboku-chō period. He was adopted as a son by Moronao. He was kami (守・長官; highest of the four administrative positions of the ritsuryō system) of Mikawa Province, shugo (governor) of Musashi Province and Kantō kanrei. Defeated by Uesugi Noriaki during the Kannō disturbance, he committed seppuku in Kai in 1351.
