Nitta Yoshimune

Nitta Yoshimune (c. 1331–1368) was the third son of Nitta Yoshisada and a Southern Court commander in the Nanbokuchō Wars. After his father fell in 1338 he was raised in hiding in Echigo as the clan's heir.

In 1352 he and his brother Yoshioki rose against Ashikaga Takauji, fought in Musashi and briefly retook Kamakura before defeat drove him back to Echigo. A later rising collapsed when Yoshioki was murdered, and in 1368 Yoshimune fell in the Musashi revolt.
