Hosokawa Shigeuji

Hosokawa Shigeuji (c. 1325–1359), third head of the Hosokawa Oshu branch, was a Northern Court commander and the son of Hosokawa Akiuji. He fought beside his father for Ashikaga Takauji, and when Akiuji died in 1352 he succeeded him as shugo of Sanuki and Tosa.

From 1355 he fought Southern Court forces in Tosa. The Taiheiki records that in 1359, while in Sanuki, he seized the Sutoku cloistered emperor's estates to fund a great expedition and died suddenly that summer, which the chronicle blames on a curse.
