Hirosawa Yoshizane

Hirosawa Yoshizane (c. 1165–c. 1240), also written Yata Yoshizane, was a warrior of the late Heian and early Kamakura periods, the son of Ashikaga Yoshikiyo, who fell at the Battle of Mizushima in 1183. He was known as Hirosawa Hangandai after the Hirosawa village where he lived.

After the Jōkyū War of 1221 his sons settled in Mikawa: Sanekuni's descendants became the Niki clan and Yoshisue's the Hosokawa clan.
