Nihonmatsu Yoshitsugu

Nihonmatsu Yoshitsugu (二本松 義継, 1552–1585) or Hatakeyama Yoshitsugu was a Japanese daimyō of the Sengoku period, who was the 14th head of the Nihonmatsu clan (a branch of the Hatakeyama clan) of Mutsu.

In this Japanese name, the family name is Nihonmatsu.

After the death of Date Terumune at Nihonmatsu's hands, his rival Date Masamune swore revenge, which culminated in the Battle of Hitotoribashi.[1]
