Shimazu Morohisa was the head of the Sôshû branch of the [[Shimazu clan]], and ''[[shugo]]'' of [[Satsuma province]], for the one generation in the 14th century during which the clan leadership was split between him and his younger brother [[Shimazu Ujihisa]], lord of [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]]. Both share the distinction of being the 6th head of the Shimazu clan, and the clan, split following their father's death, was reunited after their deaths, with Ujihisa's descendants continuing as the main trunk lineage.
The third son of [[Shimazu Sadahisa]], Morohisa sided with [[Ashikaga Takauji]] and the [[Northern Court]] in the [[Nanboku-cho|Nanbokuchô Wars]]. He became ''shugo'' of Satsuma province in [[1363]] upon Sadahisa's death, while his brother Ujihisa became ''shugo'' of Ôsumi. As Morohisa held the title of [[Kazusa province|Kazusa]]-no-suke, his branch came to be known as the Sôshû branch, while Ujihisa, [[Mutsu province|Mutsu]]-no-kami, became the head of the Ôshû branch.<ref>Sôshû being an alternate name for Kazusa province, and Ôshû for Mutsu province.</ref> Morohisa made his base at [[Ikariyama castle]] in [[Satsuma Sendai]].
He died on [[1376]]/3/21 at the age of 52, and is buried at the Shimazu clan cemetery at [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]] in [[Kagoshima]], alongside his older brother [[Shimazu Munehisa]]. While Ujihisa's Ôshû branch went on to become the main branch of the Shimazu clan, Morohisa's son [[Shimazu Korehisa]] continued the Sôshû line.
