Fujiwara no Masanori

Fujiwara no Masanori (c. 997–1064) was a mid-Heian military commander in Kyushu, remembered as the father of Kikuchi no Noritaka, ancestor of the Kikuchi clan of Higo. Genealogies claim he was a son of Fujiwara no Takaie, though modern scholars regard this descent as a claim adopted by the Kikuchi to ennoble their line.

He served as junior assistant at Dazaifu and held the governorships of Tsushima and Hizen, and was once pursued on suspicion of murdering Fujiwara no Sadatō.
