Shō Sukefusa

Shō Sukefusa, known as Saemon Shirō, was a warrior of the late Kamakura period from Oda District in Bitchū Province and castellan of Kōyama and Takayama castles. He is thought to have been a son of Shō Aritsugu, and from his day the Bitchū Shō took 'suke' as their generational character.

During the Genkō War he served the shogunate under Hōjō Nakatoki, the Echigo governor; in 1333 he fled east with Nakatoki's kin after the Rokuhara tandai fell, reached Banba, and died with them at Renge-ji.
