Hōjō Moritoki

Hōjō Moritoki (1295–1333), also called Akahashi Moritoki, was the sixteenth and last shikken of the Kamakura shogunate, son of Hōjō Hisatoki. He took office in 1326 after the Karyaku disturbance, though power lay with the retired tokusō Takatoki and the Nagasaki family.

In 1333 his brother-in-law Ashikaga Takauji rebelled and destroyed the Rokuhara tandai. Moritoki led the vanguard against Nitta Yoshisada at the Kobusagoe pass and, overwhelmed, killed himself at Suzaki in June 1333, aged 39; his son Masutoki died with him.
