Yuasa Munefuji

Yuasa Munefuji was a leader of the Yuasa warrior band of Kii Province, based at Ategawa, and an ally of Kusunoki Masashige. In 1331, on the Kamakura shogunate's orders, he stormed Masashige's castle of Shimo-Akasaka and was made its jitō steward, but in 1332 Masashige retook the castle and Munefuji surrendered.

He then fought for the imperial side in Settsu and Kawachi, crossed to Shikoku in 1340, and in 1352 escorted Emperor Go-Murakami to the Sumiyoshi Shrine. Later tradition numbers him among Masashige's eight chief retainers.
