Munakata Ujiyori was the son of Munakata Ujitoshi, head of the Chikuzen house that supplied the hereditary high priests of Munakata Taisha. In 1369 he held the post of shugo of Iki Province, succeeding his father, and he also inherited the family's hereditary high-priesthood.

In 1391 he made over the headship of the main Munakata family to his younger brother Ujishige and moved east to Niwa District in Owari Province, adjoining the Isshiki shugo's domains, taking Ujishige's son Shigekatsu with him.
