[[File:Morohisa-munehisa.jpg|right|thumb|320px|The graves of Shimazu Munehisa (right) and his brother [[Shimazu Morohisa]] (left) at [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]] in [[Kagoshima]]]]
*''Born: [[1322]]''
*''Died: [[1340]]''
*''Japanese'': [[島津]]宗久 ''(Shimazu Munehisa)''
Shimazu Munehisa was the second son of [[Shimazu Sadahisa]], and a prominent warrior of the [[Nanboku-cho|Nanboku-chô period]].
In [[1337]], he responded to a call-to-arms from [[Ashikaga Tadayoshi]], traveling to [[Yamato province]], and later leading Shimazu forces against the [[Southern Court]] at [[Kobe|Hyôgo-no-tsu]] and [[battle of Minatogawa|Minatogawa]]. He died on [[1340]]/1/24 as a result of injuries from falling from his horse, at age 19. Following the death of their father in [[1363]], the headship of the [[Shimazu clan]] was then split between Munehisa's younger brothers, [[Shimazu Morohisa]] and [[Shimazu Ujihisa|Ujihisa]].
He is buried at the Shimazu clan cemetery at [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]] in [[Kagoshima]] alongside his brothers. As the temple was not founded until the end of the 14th century, the graves of Munehisa and his brothers are the oldest in the cemetery.
