Yūki Hirotsuna

Yūki Hirotsuna (1221–1278) was a mid-Kamakura warrior and the third head of the Shimōsa Yūki clan, succeeding his father Tomohiro in 1255. In 1257 he was appointed a Kebiishi officer in Kyoto, and in 1260 became assistant governor of Kōzuke Province.

Temple tradition calls him founder of the Chōraku-ji, where he devoted himself to the nenbutsu. He died in 1278 and was buried at the Shōmyō-ji in Yūki; his son Tokihiro succeeded him.
