Ōuchi Hiromori

Ōuchi Hiromori was a Suō warrior and the seventeenth head of the Ōuchi clan, then still named Tatara. Exiled in 1177 for the Shishigatani conspiracy and pardoned in 1178, he came to dominate the provincial office as Ōuchisuke.

In the Genpei War he gave Minamoto no Noriyori's army Suō as a base against the Taira. After 1185 he was the province's strongest man; in 1191 he was accused of blocking Tōdai-ji rebuild timber, but the bakufu dismissed the suit.
