Kō no Moroakira

Kō no Moroakira was a warrior of the Northern and Southern Courts era and a son of Kō no Moronao, steward to Shogun Ashikaga Takauji. When his father and much of the Kō clan were killed during the Kannō Disturbance in 1351, Moroakira escaped and was made the clan's successor. Around 1352 he was named shugo of Tango and, in 1353, of Tajima, to watch the wavering Yamana Tokiuji.

When Yamana rebelled for the Southern Court in 1353, Moroakira led the warriors of three provinces against him, was defeated at Nishiyama Yoshimine and took his own life.
