Sagara Nagayori

Sagara Nagayori (1177–1254) was a Kamakura vassal and the first Sagara lord of Hitoyoshi in Higo. Born at Sagara manor in Tōtōmi, he was sent to Kyushu by Yoritomo in 1198, destroyed the Yaze and seized Hitoyoshi Castle.

His vanguard service at the Battle of Futamatagawa in 1205 won him the jitō post of Hitoyoshi manor. He died at Hitoyoshi in 1254 and was succeeded by his son Yorichika.
