Toki Yorisada

Toki Yorisada (1271–1339), seventh son of Toki Mitsusada, built the Toki into the dominant warrior house of Mino Province. Suspected of joining the Shōchū plot against the Kamakura shogunate in 1324, he nevertheless survived to serve Ashikaga Takauji and became the Muromachi shogunate's first governor of Mino.

A friend of the Zen master Musō Soseki, he spread Rinzai Zen in the Toki district. He also left nearly ten poems in imperial anthologies, and died in 1339.
