Akechi Mitsukuni (?-1538) was a senior retainer under the clan of Toki throughout the latter Sengoku Period of Feudal Japan. Ascending to headship over the Akechi by the late 1400's, according to conjecture, Mitsukuni settled his domain within the southeastern half of Mino province, occupying Akechi castle as his initial base of power. Following such means, Mitsukuni gave birth to many potential heirs to his family line, one of such being the reputed Akechi Mitsuhide, who would carry on his respective clan through heirship, initially serving under the Toki following the headship of his father. As Mitsukuni thus served under Toki Yorinari for many years by means of his genetic relation to the former, he died by some unknown means within 1538, conjectively by means of old age, considering that the Toki were already neutral in their political aspirations and did not meet any direct form of harm until Saito Dosan's overthrownment.
