Rokkaku Yasutsuna

Sasaki Yasutsuna, also called Rokkaku Yasutsuna (1213–1276), was a Kamakura gokenin and Ōmi shugo, founder of the Sasaki Rokkaku branch; the name came from his Kyoto residence at Rokkaku-Higashinotōin. Third son of Sasaki Nobutsuna, he sat on the Rokuhara council.

Favoured by Shogun Kujō Yoritsune, he drew Hōjō suspicion and lost Ōmi estates in a 1243 feud with his brother. He later passed the headship to his son Yoritsuna, took the tonsure and died in 1276.
