Nitsuki Yoshitaka

Nitsuki Yoshitaka (died 1336) was a Nanboku-chō warrior from a cadet line of the Nitsuki clan, the Mikawa offshoot of the Ashikaga. In April 1336 a Southern Court army from Tōtōmi under Nitta Samanosuke invaded Mikawa; Yoshitaka, his son Mijirō Yoshinaga and others defeated it at Kira-no-shō and Hō District and cleared the province.

That September the Ashikaga forces invaded Tōtōmi, and on the thirteenth day Yoshitaka was killed by the Tenryū River while pursuing the Nitta army.
