Kikkawa Tsuneaki

Kikkawa Tsuneaki was the seventh head of the Aki Kikkawa clan, based at Surugamaru Castle. In 1350 he succeeded his father Tsunemori while the clan followed the Ashikaga Northern Court.

He could not hold the family together: the Iwami branch joined the Southern Court and grew powerful under Tsunekane and Tsunemi. Having no son, Tsuneaki married his daughter Mitoku to Tsunemi and made him his adopted heir. He died in 1383.
