Shiba Ujitsune

Shiba Ujitsune was the second son of Shiba Takatsune and a Northern Court general. In 1355, when his father rebelled with Ashikaga Tadafuyu, Ujitsune stayed loyal to Takauji and was made shugo of Echizen in his father's place.

In 1360 the bakufu named him tandai of Kyūshū, but in October 1362 his army was shattered by the Southern Court forces of Prince Kanenaga at Chōjabaru. He fled to Suō, returned to Kyoto, and in 1367 took the tonsure as Dōei and retired to Saga.
