A Japanese general of the Genpei War near the end of the Heian era and start of the Kamakura era. Also known as Ushiwakamaru, he is said to have learaned the art of war from the Mt. Kurama Tengu. On joining his half-brother Yoritomo's army, he defeated the Taira one by one, finishing them off at the battle of Dan-no-ura. Later, he was pursued by Yoritomo's army and killed himself at Koromogawa. His bold ingenuity and ruthless skill with a blade are still praised in Japan today.
