Hosokawa Akiuji

Hosokawa Akiuji (died 1352), second head of the Hosokawa Oshu branch, was a Northern Court general, the son of Hosokawa Yorisada of Mikawa. From the Genko War he served Ashikaga Takauji, and in 1336 crossed to Shikoku to win its warriors for him. He became shugo of Sanuki, Tosa and other provinces, but in 1347 was routed by Kusunoki Masatsura and lost his offices.

In the Kanno Disturbance he first backed Ashikaga Tadayoshi, then returned to Takauji. In 1352 he led Northern troops against a Southern Court drive on Kyoto, dying that July.
