Ishikawa Hirosue

Ishikawa Hirosue (died 1248), second son of Ishikawa Motomitsu, was the seventh head of the Mutsu Ishikawa, chosen over a sickly elder brother. In 1183 he sent troops to join Minamoto no Yoritomo after he rose against the Taira in Izu.

Bedridden when Yoritomo marched against the Ōshū Fujiwara in 1189, he sent a kinsman as deputy to join the campaign, and Yoritomo later granted the clan shrine lands in Shida district. After visiting Kamakura in 1197 he became Daizen no daibu; his son Mitsusada succeeded him in 1248.
