Ōtomo (clan, ancient)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ancient Ōtomo clan ( Japanese 大 伴 氏 ) was a Japanese clan that traced back to Michi-omi no mikoto ( 道 臣 命 ), armed companion of Emperor Jimmu , and whose members held high offices until the early Heian period the government clad.

Some members of the family

  • Kanamura ( 金 村 ), son of Karari, descended from Michi-omi in the 10th generation. When, on the occasion of the death of Emperor Ninken in 498, Heguri Matori ( 平 群 真 鳥 ) interfered in the imperial succession, Kanamura defeated him and was appointed Ō-muraji by Emperor Buretsu . When he died childless, Kanamura put Prince Ōhodo ( Keitai ), descendant of Emperor Ōjin , on the throne. He also remained a minister under the four subsequent emperors.
  • Sadehiko ( 狭 手 彦 ), son of Kanamura, commanded an expedition against Silla with his brother Iwa . Legend has it that his wife, Matsu-ura no Sayo-hime, could not take her eyes off Sadehiko's ship and remained motionless on the beach, eventually turning into a stone, the bōfu-seki . The brothers were successful in their campaign against the Three Kingdoms of Korea - Iwa became governor of Tsukushi while Sadehiko stayed in Korea. In 562 he was appointed Shogun, he defeated the army of Goguryeo , then returned to Japan with rich booty.
  • Kuhi ( ) fought in 587 under Soga no Umako against Mononobe no Moriya and led 590 and 601 expeditions to Korea.
  • Fukehi ( 吹 負 ) supported Emperor Temmu against Emperor Kōbun in 672 and defeated the imperial army in Ōmi.
  • Kojihi ( 古 慈 斐 ; 695–777) was 752 ambassador to China.
  • Otomaro ( 弟 麿 ; 731–809) was sent against the Ainu to Mutsu in 791 and defeated them with the help of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro ( 坂 上 田村 麿 ; 758–811). He later became a teacher to the imperial prince.
  • Katsuo ( 勝雄 ; 776-831) was governor of Mutsu and Azechi.
  • Tabito ( 旅人 ; 665–731), son of Yasumaro, ruled the provinces of Yamashiro and Settsu and in 720 suppressed a revolt of the Hayato ( 隼 人 ) in Ōsumi province . He was also famous as a poet.
  • Surugamaro ( 駿 河 麿 ; † 768) was involved in the revolt of Tachibana no Naramaro ( 橘 奈良 麿 ; 721-757) and was exiled in 757. Shortly afterwards he was brought back to Azechi and then Chinjufu-Shogun and defeated the Ainu.
  • Yakamochi ( 家 持 ; † 785) son of Tabito, was Shogun in Mutsu Province. Shortly after his death, Tsuguhito, a relative, killed Fujiwara no Tanetsugu ( 藤原 種 継 ; 737–785), whereupon he was arrested. He said Yakamochi instigated the crime. Thereupon all rights were taken from him, although already deceased, and his son Nagate was banished to the island of Sado . Tsuguhito himself was exiled to the island of Oki .
