Oda Haruhisa

Oda Haruhisa (1300–1353), eighth head of the Oda family of Hitachi, a Hatta branch, was the son of the seventh head Sadamune. First named Takatomo, he fought in his father's place in 1327 to crush the Ando rebellion. After the Kamakura shogunate fell in 1333 he served Emperor Go-Daigo, taking the name Haruhisa from him.

In 1336 he joined the Southern Court, fighting the Northern Court Satake and sheltering Kitabatake Chikafusa at Oda Castle, until submitting to Ashikaga rule in 1341. He died in 1353 and his son Takatomo succeeded him.
