Nanbu Mitsuyuki

Nanbu Mitsuyuki (1165–1236?) was a Kamakura-period warrior and the founder of the Nanbu clan. The third son of Kagami Tōmitsu of the Seiwa Genji, he fought for Minamoto no Yoritomo at Ishibashiyama in 1180 and was enfeoffed at the Nanbu lands in Kai, from which he took his name.

He accompanied Yoritomo to Kyoto in 1190. His six sons founded the clan's six main branches, and he was posthumously awarded Junior Third Rank.
