Uji Korenobu

Uji Korenobu was the earliest historically attested head of the Aso family, the daiguji shrine house of Aso Shrine in Higo Province. By the first half of the twelfth century his line had formed a warrior band that ruled the country around Aso.

He is named in a formal report dated the twelfth month of 1142 and is the first verifiable figure in the Aso genealogy; the family still used the surname Uji in his lifetime. His successor was Uji Sukenaga.
