Usman Zamnagawa Dan Shekarau, known as Usman Zamnagawa was the King of Kano from 1343 to 1349.
Muhammad Dan Nazaki (1623–1648), known as El Kutumbi or Muhammad Alwali I was the twenty-ninth ruler of Kano and the patriarch of the eponymous Kutumbawa, the last faction of Hausa aristocrats in Kano. Like the Gaudawa and Rumfawa line of rulers, his house is not primarily differentiated based on lineage but rather significant political and social reforms ushered during their era. While the Rumfawa preferred a more centralized system of government, Kutumbi and his descendants dispersed authority through government officials. He created various new government positions and also imposed new forms of taxation, most notably on the cattle of the Fula. His reign was also characterized by successful conquests against Gombe, Bauchi and Kano's principal rival, Katsina. El Kutumbi died of battle wounds after a second expedition against the latter. The Kano Chronicle described him as one of Kano's greatest kings.
Kabe Dan Kumbari, known as Alhaji Kabe, was the thirty-ninth ruler of the Sultanate of Kano, reigning for the ten year period between 1743 and 1753. He was primarily remembered by the Kano Chronicle as a malevolent and ruthless King. It is said that no record can be kept of the number of battles and wars he fought or those fought by the subkingdoms of Kano by his orders, most notably against Gobir. The baleful nature of his reign led to the ousting of the already unpopular bloodline of Muhammad Sharefa.
