Nawa Nagatoshi

Nawa Nagatoshi (c. 1250 – 7 August 1336) was head of the wealthy Nawa shipping clan of Hōki Province. In 1333, when Emperor Go-Daigo escaped exile on Oki, Nagatoshi welcomed him to Mount Senjō and fought the Kamakura shogunate's forces there. Under the Kenmu Restoration he was made governor of Hōki and ranked among the emperor's closest generals, the Three Trees and One Grass.

He opposed Ashikaga Takauji. After the imperial defeat at Minatogawa, he was killed fighting Takauji's troops in Kyoto on 7 August 1336.
