Akamatsu Norifusa
Akamatsu Norifusa was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku and Azuchi-Momoyama periods. Norifusa served as the shugo of Harima Province, but was defeated during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Chugoku Offensive. He surrendered, becoming Hideyoshi's vassal; in subsequent years he was granted landholdings scattered around Okishio and Sumakichi. Under Hideyoshi's command, he saw action at the Battle of Shizugatake and the Invasion of Shikoku.
