Hosokawa Kiyouji

Hosokawa Kiyouji (c. 1325–1362), fifth head of the Hosokawa and Kazuuji's son, fought for Takauji in the Kanno Disturbance and became shugo of Ise. In 1353 he shielded Emperor Go-Kogon during a Southern raid on Kyoto, carrying him on his back over the mountains to Omi.

In 1358 Yoshiakira made him steward, but rivals drove him out in 1361 and he defected south. In 1362 his cousin Yoriyuki cornered him in Sanuki; the Taiheiki says Yoriyuki's feint split his army and he died alone.
