Nanbu Yoshiyuki

Nanbu Yoshiyuki was a warrior of the late Kamakura period and the second head of the Kai Nanbu branch, based at Nambu-no-shō in Kai Province. The legitimate son of branch founder Nanbu Yoshimoto, he was chosen as successor by Nanbu Masamitsu, fourth head of the main Nanbu line, but returned to Kai against that decision.

In 1333 he marched with the Hōjō army sent to stop Nitta Yoshisada's advance on Kamakura and fought at Bubaigawara in Musashi, where the Hōjō forces were routed, opening the way for the fall of the Kamakura shogunate.
