Miura Yoshizumi

Miura Yoshizumi (1127–1200), son of Miura Yoshiaki and head of the Miura clan, was a leading gokenin of the early Kamakura shogunate. In 1180 he led the Miura host to join Minamoto no Yoritomo but arrived too late for Ishibashiyama; after repulsing Hatakeyama Shigetada at Yuigahama he fled to Awa while his father fell at Kinugasa.

He fought at Ichinotani, Dannoura and in the Ōshū campaign, and in 1199 joined the thirteen-man council under shōgun Yoriie. He died in 1200, days after Kajiwara Kagetoki's overthrow.
