Sasaki Hidetsuna

Sasaki Hidetsuna (died 1353), eldest son of Sasaki Doyo, was a Northern Court warrior who became head of the Board of Retainers and military governor of Kazusa province.

In 1338 he helped block Kitabatake Akiie's advance on Kyoto, and in 1340 he and his father were briefly exiled to Kazusa after setting fire to a cloister. He fought at the 1348 Battle of Shijonawate and in 1351 joined Ashikaga Takauji against Tadayoshi alongside his father, being appointed governor of Kazusa that year.

In 1353 he was guarding the fugitive Emperor Go-Kogon near Katada in Omi when a Southern Court force under Horiguchi Sadayasu attacked at Mano-ura and killed him.
