Kawano Michihisa

Kawano Michihisa headed the Kawano clan of Iyo Province in the early Kamakura period, a son of Kawano Michinobu and reputedly of a daughter of Hōjō Tokimasa. During the Jōkyū War of 1221 his father and most of the clan joined the imperial court, but Michihisa alone took the Kamakura shogunate's side through his mother's kin.

After the defeat he became clan head, his relatives killed or exiled, and received the jitō post of Tonda manor in Awa. In 1267 he disinherited his eldest son Michitoki and named Michitsugu heir.
