Kikkawa Tsunehide

Kikkawa Tsunehide was the second head of the Iwami branch of the Kikkawa clan and the second son of Tsuneshige, founder of the Iwami line; his sister married the Aki clan head Tsunemori. In the Kenmu and Engen years he fought for Ashikaga Takauji and was appointed governor of Shinano.

After succeeding his father, he quarrelled with his mother Magayasha in 1349; his younger brother Tsunekane sided against him, and Tsunehide was disinherited. Tsunekane then took the Iwami headship.
