Kudō Suketaka

Kudō Suketaka (工藤 祐隆) was a Japanese feudal lord. He was the lord of Kusumi Manor in Izu Province and the 6th head of the Kudō clan. He founded the Itō clan and is the ancestor to the Kanō clan and the Kawazu clan. He was also known as Itō Ietsugu.

Suketaka's division of his territory between his son and his grandson would lead to a chain of revenge, the Revenge of the Soga Brothers incident being the most well-known.
