Sagara Yorikage

Sagara Yorikage was steward of Sagara manor in Tōtōmi Province when Minamoto no Yoritomo rose against the Taira in 1180, and he fought on the Taira side until their fall in 1185. His lands were confiscated, but repeated apologies won his pardon.

In 1193 he received Taragi manor in Kuma district, Higo, and went down to Kyushu; in 1197 Yoritomo confirmed the estate as his holding.
