Ōuchi Morifusa

Ōuchi Morifusa, then known as Tatara Morifusa, was a provincial official of Suō Province and head of the Tatara clan, the house that later took the name Ōuchi. In 1177 he was caught in the Shishigatani conspiracy and exiled with his kinsmen, including his son Hiromori; all were pardoned in 1178.

By 1182 he headed a provincial document's signatories as gon-no-suke. Around 1200 he was Suō's strongest magnate, and his line made the post hereditary under the title Ōuchisuke.
