*''Japanese'': [[島津]]伊久 ''(Shimazu Korehisa)''
Shimazu Korehisa was the second head of the Sôshû branch of the [[Shimazu clan]]; Korehisa and [[Shimazu Motohisa]], head of the Ôshû branch, are both considered the 7th heads of the central lineage of the clan as a whole.
Korehisa was the eldest son of [[Shimazu Morohisa]] (6th head of the Shimazu, founder of the Sôshû branch), and succeeded his father as ''[[shugo]]'' of [[Satsuma province]] in [[1366]]. He fought alongside his uncle, [[Shimazu Ujihisa]], in the wars of the [[Nanbokucho Period|Nanbokuchô Period]]. Though originally fighting for the [[Northern Court]], Korehisa and Ujihisa switched sides in [[1375]], after their ally ''[[Kyushu tandai|Kyûshû tandai]]'' [[Imagawa Ryoshun|Imagawa Ryôshun]] betrayed them and killed another ally, [[Shoni Fuyusuke|Shôni Fuyusuke]]. As a result of turning against the [[Ashikaga Takauji|Ashikaga]], the [[Muromachi shogunate|shogunate]] stripped Korehisa of his position as ''shugo'' of Satsuma; his position was restored, however, in [[1382]].
In [[1393]], Korehisa had a falling out with his son [[Shimazu Morihisa]]; after his cousin Shimazu Motohisa (lord of [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]]) helped him reconcile with his son, Korehisa rewarded Motohisa by naming him heir to the Sôshû branch. Motohisa married into the Sôshû branch, and adopted Korehisa's son [[Shimazu Hisateru]] as his successor, but then later dissolved the adoption, and relations between Sôshû and Ôshû (i.e. between Korehisa and Motohisa) worsened again. Korehisa joined forces with the [[Shibuya clan|Shibuya]] and [[Sagara clan]]s, and took up arms against Motohisa.
He died in [[1407]], at age 61, and was succeeded by his son Morihisa.
