Nawa Nagatoshi (名和長年) (died August 7, 1336) was a Kamakura Period military figure who defended the Southern Court during the Nanboku-chō period.
Nawa was appointed Governor of Hoki Province as a reward for his support of Go-Daigo during the Genko War.[1]
After the Battle of Minatogawa and the entry of Takauji into Kyoto, Loyalists forces continued to oppose him. In particular, Nawa led a force against the Toji temple, where Takauiji had installed the future Emperor Komyo. However, Nawa's attack was stopped and Nawa killed.[1]
He is enshrined at Nawa Shrine in Daisen, Tottori Prefecture.
