An early Kamakura-period warrior of Musashi who served Minamoto no Yoritomo, distinguished himself at battles such as Uji River and Ichinotani, and was trusted as a leader of the Musashi warriors. He is said to have lived at Sugaya Yakata.
According to the Azuma Kagami, in 1205 he heard of trouble in Kamakura and left "Sugaya residence" with only 134 horsemen, only to be ambushed and killed by a large Hojo force at Futamatagawa, in today's Asahi Ward, Yokohama.
