Wada Kenkai

Wada Kenkai (died 1348), called Wada Shinbōchi in contemporary records, was a Southern Court warrior of the Wada family, a Kusunoki cadet house of Kawachi Province. Kusunoki genealogies make him a son of Kusunoki Masasue, younger brother of Kusunoki Masashige.

He may be the same man as Wada Masaoki, who attacked Tange and Matsubara castles in Ise in 1338. He later followed the Kusunoki leader Masatsura and fell at the Battle of Shijōnawate on 4 February 1348, dying beside his lord.
