Kō no Morofuyu

Kō no Morofuyu (died 1351) was a Nanboku-chō commander, shugo lord and waka poet, adopted heir of Kō no Moronao. He helped defeat the Southern Court general Kitabatake Akiie in 1338 and, as Kantō steward from 1339, subdued it by 1343, becoming shugo of Musashi and Iga.

In 1349 he was assigned to counsel the young Kamakura kubō Ashikaga Motouji. During the Kannō Disturbance he fled Kamakura in late 1350 and, besieged at Sunzawa Castle in Kai, killed himself in early 1351.
