Utsunomiya Kintsuna

Utsunomiya Kintsuna (1302–1356) was the ninth head of the Utsunomiya clan of Shimotsuke. In 1333, during the Genkō War, he led the Ki and Sei warrior leagues against Kusunoki Masashige at Shitennō-ji in Settsu, with neither side forcing a direct battle.

After the Kamakura shogunate fell he served Emperor Go-Daigo's Kenmu government, then fought Ashikaga Takauji at Takenoshita in 1335 and later campaigned for the Southern Court under Kitabatake Akiie. His waka poems were collected in the Shinsenzai Wakashū.
