Yūki Munehiro

Yūki Munehiro (1266–1339) was the second head of the Shirakawa Yūki clan of Mutsu Province. A Kamakura retainer, he answered Emperor Go-Daigo's call in 1333 and stormed Kamakura with Nitta Yoshisada, overthrowing the Hōjō. He then governed the Ōshū lands with Kitabatake Akiie, and in 1336 helped retake Kyoto from Ashikaga Takauji, receiving the sword Onimaru from Go-Daigo.

After Akiie fell in 1338, he sailed from Ise toward Ōshū escorting Prince Noriyoshi, but his ship was wrecked and he died in Ise in 1339.
