Ōtomo Yoriyasu

Ōtomo Yoriyasu (1222–1300) was the third head of the Ōtomo clan. He inherited in 1236 and changed his name from Yasunao after receiving a character from Regent Hōjō Tokiyori. As the Mongol threat grew, the shogunate made him eastern Chinzei magistrate, and he moved to Bungo in 1272 for Kyūshū's defense.

He helped repel the Yuan invasions at Torikaigata in 1274 and at Shikanoshima in 1281. He died in Sagami in 1300, aged seventy-nine, having settled the clan in Bungo.
