Yoriki Niki

A military commander during the Nanboku-cho period. Son of Yoshikatsu. Called Jirosaburo. He served as Suo no Kami, Iga no Kami, Sakyo Daibu, and Hyobu Taifu. In 1335 (Kenmu 2), together with Ashikaga Takauji, he raised troops against Emperor Godaigo in Kamakura. When Takauji headed west in the following year (Engen 1, Kenmu 3), he was ordered to base himself in Kozanji Castle in Tanba Province and pacify Tanba Province. After that, when Takauji went to Kyoto, he gathered troops from Tanba and Tajima and defeated Nitta Yoshisada in Kyoto. In 1350 (Shohei 5, Kan'o 1), he became Samurai Dokoro Tounin, and the following year he became a steward. During the Kanno Disturbance (1349-1352), he sided with Takauji and attacked Ashikaga Tadayoshi. He died on October 13, 1359 (Shohei 14, Enbun 4).
