Kunohe Masazane

• Death: 1591
• Distinction: Nanbu vassal

Masazane, a former vassal of Nanbu Nobunao, refused to yield to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590 and the following year his Kunoe castle was taken by Gamô Ujisato. This marked the last real resistance to Hideyoshi's hegemony. The surviving Kunohe were afterwards dispossessed.
