Kō no Moroaki

Kō no Moroaki was a Nanboku-chō commander, the son of Kō no Moroyuki and cousin of the powerful steward Kō no Moronao. He served Ashikaga Takauji's brother Tadayoshi, becoming shugo of Ise in 1338 and taking Kamiyama Castle from the Southern Court.

In the Kannō Disturbance he and his son Moroari sided with Tadayoshi against Moronao, one grievance being Moronao's killing of his wife's brother. When Tadayoshi fled to Hokuriku in 1351 Moroaki followed, and his son Moroari later entered the service of the Kamakura kubō Ashikaga Motouji.
