Minamotono Yoritomo (May 9, 1147 – February 9, 1199) was the founder and the first shogun of the Kamakura dynasty of Japan, who ruled from 1192 until 1199.
Minamotono Yoritomo was the eldest son of Minamotono Yoshitomo, the heir of the Minamoto (Seiwa Genji) clan, and his official wife, Fujiwara no Saneori, who was a member of the illustrious Fujiwara clan.
Meanwhile, Minamotono Yoshitomo fled the capital just as the Taira marched in in 1160, but was betrayed and executed by a retainer in Owari.
