Kutsuna Shigekiyo

Kutsuna Shigekiyo was a naval commander of the Kutsuna clan based on the Kutsuna Islands of Iyo Province. In 1331 he answered Emperor Go-Daigo's call to arms in the Genkō War and campaigned across Iyo against the Iyo-Utsunomiya, then followed Nitta Yoshisada against Ashikaga Takauji.

When Takauji marched from Kyushu in 1336, Shigekiyo defected to the Ashikaga and fought in Kyoto, Iyo and Aki. In his later years he was overshadowed by his Southern Court brother Yoshinori.
