Shimazu Morohisa

Shimazu Morohisa (1325–1376) was a commander of the Northern and Southern Courts period and the sixth head of the Shimazu clan of Satsuma. Third son of the fifth head Sadahisa, he fought for Ashikaga Takauji and was made steward of estates in Satsuma and Hizen.

In 1363, after an elder brother's early death, he succeeded as clan head and shugo of Satsuma, founding the Sōshū branch while his brother Ujihisa took Ōsumi. In 1375 he broke with Imagawa Ryōshun over the murder of Shōni Fuyusuke, and died the following year.
