Taira no Koremoto

Taira no Koremoto was a mid-Heian warrior and founder of the Hitachi Taira. A nephew adopted by Taira no Sadamori, he was posted to Hitachi after Sadamori's victory in the Jōhei-Tengyō War. Settling at Take in Tsukuba District, he styled himself Take-gon-no-daibu and built the clan's power.

The Konjaku Monogatari records his feud with Taira no Tadatsune before 1016, and during Tadatsune's revolt he led three thousand cavalry under Minamoto no Yorinobu.
