Yūki Chikatomo

Yūki Chikatomo was the eldest son of Yūki Munehiro and a warrior of the Shirakawa Yūki clan in Mutsu Province. He fought with his father to overthrow the Kamakura shogunate in 1333 and held office in the Mutsu government under the Kenmu Restoration. In 1340 he built Komine Castle at Shirakawa and founded a Komine branch house.

Though he first served the Southern Court and fought for Kitabatake Chikafusa, in 1343 he defected to the Northern Court in exchange for guarantees of his lands. He died in 1347.
