Sō Sukekuni

Sō Sukekuni (1207–1274) was a mid-Kamakura warrior and deputy steward of Tsushima for the Shōni family. He is counted the second Sō head on the island.

In the Bun'ei campaign a Mongol fleet said to number four hundred and fifty ships landed at Sasuura on 4 November 1274. Sukekuni rode through the night with only eighty-odd horsemen, and next morning sent an interpreter to question the invaders, who opened fire; his men formed ranks to fight.

The Hachiman Gudōkun recounts that he fell with his sons and his men in the Mongol invasions' first battle. He is enshrined at Komodahama Shrine.
