Hironari Ōuchi

Hironari Ōuchi was a warrior of Suō Province and the 19th head of the Ōuchi clan, succeeding his father Mitsumori. His years continued the family's rise.

The Rokuhara tandai, the Kamakura shogunate's deputies in Kyōto, treated him in practice almost as a shugo, or military governor. He died around the 18th day of the ninth month of 1244, and the headship passed to his son Hirosada.
