Aso Korezumi

Aso Korezumi (c.1309–1364) was a late Kamakura and Nanboku-chō warrior and the Southern Court daiguji of Aso Shrine. Of the disgraced Era branch, he was long called Era Korezumi. In 1333 he defected to Emperor Go-Daigo, and in 1336 fought Ashikaga Takauji at Tatara Beach.

He backed Prince Kanenaga in 1337 and in 1340 killed a Northern Court claimant at Nango Castle. Taking Dazaifu with the Kikuchi in 1361 won him recognition as daiguji, though a Northern Court rival split the clan. In 1364 he yielded office to his son Koremura, dying shortly after.
