* ''Death: [[1587]]''
* ''Titles: Danjô-shôsuke, Iyo no kami''
Michinao was a son of [[Kono Michinobu|Kôno Michinobu]] and became lord when the latter fell ill. Though very young, Michinao acted as the lord of the [[Kono clan|Konô]] with the assistance of his relatives and retainers. The Konô lands were attacked by the [[Miyoshi clan|Miyoshi]] of [[Awa province|Awa]] in [[1572]] and in [[1575]] troops were sent to assist the [[Mori clan|Môri]] in their budding campaign against the [[Oda clan (Owari)|Oda]]. [[Chosokabe Motochika]] launched an invasion of [[Iyo province]] in [[1581]] that brought down a number of Konô castles. Michinao appealed to the Môri but they were too occupied by the Oda to spare and troops and by [[1583]] Michinao was forced to surrender. In [[1585]] he had once again to surrender, this time to the invading forces of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. He was deprived of his domain and went to live in [[Aki province]], where he died of illness without an heir.
