Kudō Sukenaga

Kudō Sukenaga was an early-Kamakura warrior and gokenin, the third son of Kudō Suketsune. When his father was killed by the Soga brothers during the Fuji hunt in 1193, he was appointed jitō of Nagano in Ise Province, receiving the districts of Anō and Aki to subdue the remaining Taira followers.

His son Sukemasa settled at Nagano and took its name, founding the Nagano Kudō family, which grew into a powerful local warrior house in Ise.
