Katō Kagemichi

Katō Kagemichi, recorded as Fujiwara no Kagemichi, was a mid-Heian warrior of the northern Fujiwara Toshihito line, son of Fujiwara no Masashige and ancestor of the Katō clan. With his son Kagesue he served Minamoto no Yoriyoshi and Yoshiie.

In the Earlier Nine Years' War of 1051–1062 he fought Abe no Sadatō in Mutsu under Yoriyoshi and was ranked first of the seven mounted warriors for his merit. Kagesue fell in the campaign, but Kagemichi's descendants prospered as the Katō.
