Suwa Tokitsugu

Suwa Tokitsugu was high priest of the Upper Shrine of Suwa and the legitimate heir of Suwa Yorishige. He likely fought for the shogunate at the 1331 siege of Akasaka Castle, and after the shogunate's fall joined his father in sheltering Hōjō Tokiyuki.

In the second month of 1335 he passed the high-priesthood to his seven-year-old son Yoritsugu, and that summer father and son rose in the Nakasendai War and briefly held Kamakura. Defeated by Ashikaga Takauji, Tokitsugu killed himself on 6 September 1335.
