Ashina Morikazu

Ashina Morikazu (c. 1285 – 4 September 1335), also known as Ashina Hōgan, was the sixth head of the Ashina clan of Aizu. In 1333 he marched on Kyoto with the Kamakura bakufu's army sent to subdue Emperor Go-Daigo, but was defeated.

In the seventh month of 1335 he answered Hōjō Tokiyuki's call in the Nakasendai Rebellion and made for Kamakura. The next month Ashikaga Takauji's counterattack caught him at the Battle of Katasegawa, where he was killed. The seventh head, Ashina Naomori, succeeded him.
