Kasai Takakiyo

Kasai Takakiyo (1312–1365) was head of the Kasai clan, which ruled central Mutsu around the Tome district. The son of the clan lord Sadakiyo, he received the character for Taka in his adult name from the Hōjō regent Takatoki.

In the Genkō War of 1331 the Kamakura shogunate sent him with a punitive army to the capital; he is thought to be the Kasai Saburō Hyōe-no-jō on its rolls. He died on 17 April 1365, aged 54.
