Minamoto no Yorimitsu

Minamoto no Yorimitsu (948–1021) was a Heian-period warrior, eldest son of Mitsunaka and third head of the Seiwa Genji. He inherited his father's Tada manor, and his descendants were called the Settsu Genji.

Serving the Fujiwara regents, he attached himself to Fujiwara no Michinaga from about 990 and held several governorships. Later legend made him the slayer of the oni chief Shuten-dōji of Ōeyama, with his Four Retainers. He died in 1021, leaving his heir Yorikuni.
