Taira no Shigemori
Taira no Shigemori (1138–1179) was the eldest son of Taira no Kiyomori. He fought beside his father in the Hōgen Disturbance of 1156 and the Heiji Disturbance of 1159, rising to become inner minister. Known as the Komatsu minister from his Rokuhara mansion, he was the Taira leader closest to Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
He struggled to mediate between the cloistered emperor and his father, then died of illness in 1179, aged forty-two; his brother Munemori inherited the clan's leadership.
