Takashina no Yoshiomi

Takashina no Yoshiomi (898–980) was a mid-Heian noble, the son of Takashina no Moronao. In 939 the court sent him, then a Lesser Lieutenant of the Left Gate Guards, to verify Minamoto no Tsunemoto's report of Taira no Masakado's eastern revolt; he and his colleagues refused and were dismissed in 940.

Pardoned in 941, he held civil and guard posts and rose to Minister of the Imperial Household. Deeply devout, he took vows in summer 980 and died in the seventh month.
