Nanbu Nobumasa

Nanbu Nobumasa was a Southern Court warrior of the Nanboku-chō period, the son of Nanbu Masanaga and sixth head of the Nejō Nanbu. In the twelfth month of 1335 he accompanied Kitabatake Akiie's march on Kyoto as his uncle Moroyuki's deputy and fought with distinction, and in 1345 Akinobu recommended him to a guards post at the Yoshino court.

He died before succeeding his father, and his son Nobumitsu became the next head. A later warrior chronicle makes him fall against Kō no Moronao at the battle of Shijōnawate in 1348.
