Prince Morikuni
Prince Morikuni (守邦親王) was the ninth and last shōgun of the Kamakura shogunate of Japan. He was a son of the eighth shōgun Prince Hisaaki and was a grandson of the Emperor Go-Fukakusa. He was also a puppet ruler controlled by Hōjō Takatoki, who was the Kamakura shogunate's shikken or chief minister and tokusō of Hōjō clan (de facto ruler of Japan). His mother was daughter of Prince Koreyasu who died in 1306. After the collapse of the Kamakura bakufu, he became a Buddhist priest. He died shortly afterwards. The Kamakura shogunate was succeeded by the short-lived Kenmu Restoration.

The years in which Morikuni was shōgun are more specifically identified by more than one era name or nengō.
