Michinobu was a younger son of [[Kono Michiyoshi|Kôno Ômi no kami Michiyoshi]] (d.[[1579]]) and succeeded Michinao. He suffered the abortive rebellion of his vassal [[Wada Michioki]] in [[1554]] and an [[Otomo clan|Ôtomo]] campaign against him in [[1565]] which was evidently inspired by his alliance with [[Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari]]. In [[1568]] the [[Kono clan|Konô]] were attacked by [[Utsunomiya Toyotsuna]], who had the supported of the [[Chosokabe clan]] of [[Tosa province]]. The [[Mori clan|Môri]] came to assist the Konô and at length Utsunomiya was defeated and forced to sue for peace. The victory was afterwards reported to the shôgunate, and a note of congratulations was sent from [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]]. That same year Michinobu had taken ill and was forced to give up his duties as lord, handing them to his son Michinao.
