Minamoto no Yoshiie

Minamoto no Yoshiie (1039–1106), known as Hachimantarō, was the foremost late-Heian warrior and third-generation head of the Kawachi Genji, eldest son of Minamoto no Yoriyoshi. He fought beside his father against the Abe clan in the Earlier Nine Years' War.

From 1083 he led the suppression of the Kiyohara in the Later Three Years' War, storming the Kanazawa stockade in 1087 with his brother Yoshimitsu. Retired Emperor Shirakawa called him the mightiest warrior in the land, and legend made him a son of the war god Hachiman. He died in 1106.
