Kudō no Korekage

Kudō no Korekage was an eleventh-century warrior of the Kudō clan, listed in clan genealogies as a grandson of the clan's founder Fujiwara no Tamenori and son of Kudō Tokisato, with the title Suruga no kami.

Genealogies and local tradition record that he settled at the Kanō manor in Izu around 1050 and took its place name, becoming the ancestor of the Kanō warrior house, from which the painters of the Kanō school later claimed descent. His son Koremoto is recorded as ōryōshi, military chief of Izu.
