Ogasawara Nagatane

Ogasawara Nagatane was the third head of the Iwami Ogasawara, a warrior clan based at Kawamoto in Ōchi district, Iwami province. When his father Ienaga fell in battle in 1333, he took over the family lands.

In 1335 he supported the Southern Court against Ashikaga Takauji, but in 1336 he switched to the Northern side, and with his son Nagauji defeated the Kusunoki forces at Mikusu. He later built Yunoyu Castle as his seat and died in 1346.
