Minamoto no Tametomo

Minamoto no Tametomo (1005–1075) was a late-Heian warrior of the Seiwa Genji, son of Kai governor Minamoto no Tamemitsu. Tradition records that he became governor of Shinano and settled in Ina District, where his descendants grew into local lords.

He is counted the ancestor of the Shinano Genji and Ina Genji, and the Kaminohira fort in northern Ina is said to be his work. He died in 1075, aged seventy-one.
