Kudō Sadayuki

Kudō Sadayuki was a warrior of Tsugaru in the late Kamakura and Nanboku-chō periods. A Hōjō retainer, he entered Inaka district and fought for Kamakura when the Andō rebelled in 1322. After the shogunate fell in 1333, he joined the imperial army under Kitabatake Akiie and fought at the Battle of Daikōji against Hōjō remnants.

In 1335 he received Kudō Sadasuke's former estates. With no legitimate son, he left them to his daughter, wife of Nambu lord Nobumasa; the lands became the Nambu base in Tsugaru.
