Sō Moriakira

Sō Moriakira was a Kamakura-period warrior and deputy steward (jitō-dai) of Tsushima, the eldest son of Sō Sukekuni. In 1274 his father was killed opposing the Mongol landing at Sasuura in the Bun'ei campaign; Moriakira escaped because he was serving at Dazaifu, and succeeded him as the Sō family's head on the island.

He fought the Mongols once more when they returned in force during the Kōan campaign of 1281. His common name was Umatarō.
