Doi Michimasu

Doi Michimasu, called Hikokurō, was an Iyo warrior of the Kōno branch clan and eldest son of Doi Michinari. In 1321 the Kamakura shogunate gave him charge of Iyo's maritime defense. In 1333 he was among the first to rise for Emperor Go-Daigo, storming Fuchū Castle and routing Hōjō Tokinao at Ishiihama.

Under the Kenmu government he served as Bitchū no Kami, and in 1336 fought for the Southern Court with Nitta Yoshisada at Teshimagawara and Minatogawa. On 14 November 1336 he fell with his kinsmen in Shiba Takatsune's snowbound ambush at Arachi in Echizen.
