Hatakeyama Takakuni

Hatakeyama Takakuni (1305–1351) was a Northern and Southern Courts era warrior, son of Hatakeyama Tokikuni and head of the main Hatakeyama line. He fought for Ashikaga Takauji at Kyoto in 1336 and became shugo of Ise, but lost the post in 1338 after failing to stop Kitabatake Akiie's march.

In 1345 he went to Mutsu as guardian to his son Kuniuji, the new Oshu kanrei. In the Kanno Disturbance he took Takauji's side; besieged at Iwakiri Castle by Kira Sadaie, he killed himself in 1351, aged forty-seven.
