Taira no Korehira

Taira no Korehira was a mid-Heian warrior, the fourth son of Taira no Sadamori, who built a power base in Ise Province and founded the Ise Taira line, from which Taira no Kiyomori later sprang.

In 998 his feud with a kinsman brought him before the court; he apologized and was removed to Awaji. In 1006 his appointment as governor of Ise, forced through over Fujiwara no Michinaga's opposition, was revoked within two months, and he later held lesser provincial posts.
