Isshiki Noriuji

Isshiki Noriuji (1300–1369) was the third head of the Isshiki clan and a retainer of Ashikaga Takauji. After victory over Kikuchi Taketoshi at Tatarahama in 1336, he became the bakufu's first Kyushu tandai, charged with subduing the great shugo houses. In 1346 his eldest son Naouji joined him there.

During the Kannō Disturbance he backed Takauji, but repeated defeats by Kikuchi Takemitsu, climaxing at Harizurihara in 1353, forced him to abandon Hakata in 1355 and retire to Kyoto, where he died in 1369.
