Tōyama Kagetomo

Tōyama Kagetomo was a Kamakura-period warrior and founder of the Tōyama clan in Mino. The eldest son of Yoritomo's retainer Katō Kagekado, he inherited the Tōyama manor, took the Tōyama name, and ruled from Iwamura Castle.

In 1203 he and his father killed Nitta Tadatsune after the Hiki purge. In the Jōkyū War of 1221 he led the fifty-thousand-strong Tōsandō army to Kyoto, and on Hōjō Yasutoki's order beheaded Ichijō Nobuyoshi at Iwamura. Records last mention him in 1249–1256.
