Kō no Moroshige

Kō no Moroshige was a retainer of the Ashikaga house from the late Kamakura into the Nanboku-chō period and the father of Kō no Moronao. Succeeding his father Morouji, he served Ashikaga Sadauji and Takauji as steward, first recorded in that office in 1301, and also judged disputes among Ashikaga vassals.

By 1333 he had passed the family headship to his son Moronao, alienating his nephew Moroaki, who took Tadayoshi's side in the Kannō Disturbance. The diary Jōraku-ki records his death in the fifth month of 1343.
