Tō no Taneyori

Tō no Taneyori (1155–1228), called Tō Rokurō Daibu, was the sixth son of Chiba Tsunetane and ancestor of the Tō and Endō houses. At Prince Mochihito's rising in 1180, serving as a capital guard, he brought word of it to Minamoto no Yoritomo in Izu.

In the Genpei War he urged his father to join Yoritomo and destroyed the Shimōsa deputy's force. He held Higashi Manor in Shimōsa, was famed for his waka, and ended as a disciple of Hōnen; in 1227 he helped guard the transfer of Hōnen's remains during the Karoku persecution.
