Sanehira Dohi

Sanehira Dohi (died 1191) was a Sagami warlord of the Kanmu Taira lineage, ancestor of the Dohi and, by tradition, the Kobayakawa clans. From Dohi-gō he led the Nakamura war-band, and in 1180 was among the first to join Minamoto no Yoritomo's revolt; after the defeat at Ishibashiyama he fled with Yoritomo and helped him escape to Awa.

He fought at the Fuji River, Uji and Ichinotani, leading over seven thousand cavalry on the western wing. He became military governor of the three Kibi provinces and of Nagato and Suō, and also served in the 1189 Ōshū campaign.
