Chōsokabe Kaneyoshi

Chōsokabe Kaneyoshi was the twelfth head of the Chōsokabe clan and castellan of Okō Castle in Tosa Province, succeeding his father Nobuyoshi, who served Ashikaga Takauji on the Northern Court side. He fought under the Hosokawa, shugo of Tosa, at Higashi-Sakamoto; for this service father and son were rewarded with estate stewardships.

Around 1345 he became temple magistrate of Kyūkō-an on Mount Godai and rebuilt the temple. This office was inherited by his descendants.
