Minamoto no Yoriyoshi

Minamoto no Yoriyoshi (源 頼義, 988 - August 27, 1075) was a Japanese samurai lord who was the head of the Minamoto clan and served as Chinjufu-shōgun. Along with his son Minamoto no Yoshiie, he led the Imperial forces against rebellious forces in the north, a campaign called the Zenkunen War, which would be followed some years later by the Gosannen War.[1]
