Ii Tomoyasu

Ii Tomoyasu (1010–1093) was the founder and first head of the Ii clan of Iinoya in Tōtōmi Province. Clan tradition relates that on New Year's Day 1010 the priest of the Iinoya Hachiman shrine found him as a newborn abandoned beside a sacred well; so precocious was he that at seven he was adopted by Fujiwara no Tomosuke, governor of Tōtōmi, whose daughter he married.

In 1032 he succeeded to the estate, built his residence at Iinoya, and took the name Ii. He died in 1093 and was buried at Jizō-ji.
