Sōma Yoshitane

Sōma Yoshitane was the second head of the Sōma clan and a Kamakura shogunate vassal, succeeding his father Morotsune in 1201. In 1205, although related to Hatakeyama Shigetada by marriage, he took Hōjō Yoshitoki's side and helped destroy him, receiving the stewardship of Takagi in Mutsu as his reward.

During the Jōkyū War of 1221 he and his son Tanetsuna fought for the shogunate at the Uji River and at Seta Bridge in Ōmi.
