Nanbu Munetsugu

Nanbu Munetsugu was a warrior of the late Kamakura and Nanboku-chō era, son of Nanbu Nagatsugu, head of the Hakii Nanbu branch in Kai. The Taiheiki shows him, styled Governor of Tōtōmi, campaigning for Ashikaga Takauji with his younger brother, notably at Shijōnawate in 1348 with Kō no Moronao, where Kusunoki Masatsura fell.

After Shijōnawate the chronicle writes his name as Minami. One theory equates him with the Muromachi councillor Minami Munetsugu, who died in 1371.
