Akamatsu Tomonori

Akamatsu Tomonori was a Nanbokuchō-era commander, a son of Akamatsu Norisuke and grandson of Norimura, though the Taiheiki names his uncle Sokuyū as his father. He fought consistently for Ashikaga Takauji through the Kannō Disturbance.

In 1351 he joined Sokuyū under Kō no Moronao to attack Ishidō Yorifusa at Kōmyōji. In 1355 he served Ashikaga Yoshiakira at the battle of Jinnan in Settsu, where he charged enemy general Yamana Morouji and scattered his troops, himself suffering severe wounds.
