Nikaidō Yukiari

Nikaidō Yukiari (1220–1292), second son of Nikaidō Yukiyoshi, was a Kamakura shogunate samurai. He became a police commissioner by 1258, but served chiefly in Kamakura as a close attendant to the three successive shoguns sent from Kyoto.

A skilled mounted archer, he joined the Board of Adjudication in 1265 and the Council of State in 1270, taking Buddhist vows the same year. Named confirmations commissioner in 1272, he died in 1292.
