Minamoto no Yoshitsuna


Minamoto no Yoshitsuna , also called Kamo Jirō, was a samurai of the Minamoto clan, and brother of Minamoto no Yoshiie.
Yoshitsuna rebelled against the Court when his son, Minamoto no Yoshiaki, was sentenced for committing a crime; after his uprising was quelled by Minamoto no Tameyoshi, he was exiled to Sado, an island in the Sea of Japan which was a common site of exile for many in the Heian period.
