Akamatsu Norimura

Akamatsu Norimura (1277–1350), also known by his dharma name Enshin, was the fourth head of the Akamatsu clan and shugo of Harima Province. In 1333 he answered Prince Morinaga's call and rose against the Hōjō, helping Ashikaga Takauji storm the Rokuhara headquarters.

After the Kenmu regime confiscated his governorship, he joined Takauji's 1335 revolt. In 1336 he held Shirohata Castle for fifty days against Nitta Yoshisada, enabling Takauji's victory at the Minato River. He died in Kyoto in 1350.
