Sagae Motomasa

Sagae Motomasa, also recorded as Ōe no Motomasa (died 1359), was a Nanbokuchō commander and head of the Sagae branch of the Ōe clan in Dewa Province, and a fifth-generation descendant of Ōe no Hiromoto. He succeeded his father in 1322.

Siding with the Southern Court, he marched on Kyoto with Kitabatake Akiie in 1335 and helped rout Ashikaga Takauji at Teshimagawara in Settsu in 1336, driving him to Kyushu. By 1351 he had recovered the Kita-Sagae manor seized by the Hōjō, and in 1359 he fell fighting Shiba Kaneyori.
