Nitta Yoshisada
In 1338, he was sent by Ashikaga Takauji to assist in the defence of the Kuromaru, a fortress belonging to "Kanrei" Shiba Takatsune. His men clashed with fifty horsemen under the command of Nitta Yoshisada, one of the more famous commanders of the rival Southern Court. Nitta was mortally wounded by an arrow in this exchange.
