Born in 1294 AD, Born into a family of the Hanoi Kingdom, Namgi Masanari was a young warrior who had been well versed in the family's martial arts and martial arts since childhood, and because his family had always been dissatisfied with the control of the Kamakura shogunate over the emperor, he had been interested in making his own contribution to the overthrow of the Kamakura shogunate, until he met the resolute Emperor Go-Daigo, who had a heart of collapse, and he finally had the opportunity to achieve this goal.

In 1333, Emperor Go-Daigo personally marched with Namgi Masamune's forces in Hanoi as the vanguard, and later Emperor Daigo's son Prince Gora led a monk to attack the decaying Kamakura shogunate. The last shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, Prince Shoubang and the last ruler Hojo punctually appointed ashikaga Tsunade to lead the army to suppress it, but the Ashikaga clan somehow turned against the enemy, and under the joint attack of all forces, the Kamakura shogunate was destroyed, and the emperor who had been vacant by the Kamakura shogunate for more than a hundred years regained real power.

However, in 1336, only 3 years after the destruction of the Kamakura shogunate, the Ashikaga clan rebelled, and Emperor Daigo fled to Nara, where he established the Koan Imperial Court, known as the Southern Dynasty, and the Ashikaga Clan established another puppet emperor in Kyoto, establishing the Muromachi shogunate, known as the Northern Dynasty, and thus entering the History of Japan into the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Under the appointment of Emperor Go-Daigo, Nanki Masanari led an army to fight against the rebel Ashikaga Clan, and the two sides fought many times without winning or losing, and finally at the end of the same year, Nanmu Masamune defeated the Ashikaga Clan and committed suicide in desperation, at the age of 42. Because Ofaki Masanari died after bowing to Emperor Go-Daigo during his lifetime, he was regarded by later Generations of Japan as a model of loyalty and patriotism.
