Yamana Shigekuni

Yamana Shigekuni was an early Kamakura-period warrior and gokenin of the Yamana clan of Yamana township in Kōzuke Province, son of Yamana Yoshisada. In October 1185 he was among the mounted retainers who attended Minamoto no Yoritomo at the dedication of Shōchōju-in, taking sixth place in the seven ranks of attendants.

Shōchōju-in was the temple Yoritomo had founded to mourn his father Minamoto no Yoshitomo. His son Yamana Shigemura succeeded him as head of the family.
