Aso Koreyasu

Aso Koreyasu was daiguji of Aso Shrine in Higo Province and the first of his line to call himself Aso instead of Uji. In 1180 he was made daiguji of the Aso and Kengun shrines, and in 1184 sponsored a branch Aso shrine at Nagoya.

Having taken the Taira side in Kyushu during the Genpei War, he was removed by the Kamakura shogunate, which placed the shrine under Hōjō Tokimasa. In 1196 Tokimasa named his son Koretsugu daiguji, and in 1200 Koreyasu handed over his holdings.
