Kondō Yoshishige

Kondō Yoshishige was a warrior of the late Heian period and the biological father of Ōtomo Yoshinao, founder of the Ōtomo clan. Of Fujiwara-descended stock, he served as gōji headman of Furusho-gō in Sagami Province and joined Minamoto no Yoritomo during the Jishō-Juei War.

In 1182 monks of Kongōji accused him at Kamakura of seizing temple lands, and Yoritomo ordered the abuses stopped. He married a daughter of Ōtomo Tsuneie; their son Yoshinao was raised as a son by Nakahara Chikayoshi and inherited his Kyushu estates.
