Mutō Yorihira

Mutō Yorihira was a warrior and gokenin of the late Heian and early Kamakura periods. Like his father Kondō Kageyori, he served in the imperial mushadokoro and lived in Musashi Province as mokudai deputy of Taira no Tomomori. During the Jishō-Juei War that began in 1180 he submitted to Minamoto no Yoritomo and became a Kamakura vassal.

His son Ujihira's descendants took the name Daihōji, while those of Sukeyori, whom he treated as a son, took the name Shōni.
