Date Yukitomo

Date Yukitomo (1291–1348), later called Yukimune, was the seventh head of the Date clan of Mutsu and a Southern Court commander in the Nanboku-chō wars. In 1331 he joined the Hōjō army sent against the Genkō rising, but after the Kamakura shogunate fell in 1333 he served under Kitabatake Akiie.

He campaigned west with Akiie in 1335 and again in 1337, and after Akiie's death held Isa Castle against Kō no Morofuyu before escaping home. He died in 1348; his verses appear in the Fūga Wakashū as Fujiwara no Tomomura.
