  • Inukai (犬 養; 682–765)
  • Karitamaro (苅 田 麿; 728–786), son of the Inukai, helped suppress the revolt of Fujiwara no Nakamaro in 764. He later became a Chinjufu shogun.
  • Tamuramaro (田村 麿; 758–811) was the son of Karitamaro. After he had supported Ōtomo no Otomaro (大 伴 弟 麻 呂 or 大 伴 乙 麻 呂; 731-809) to prevent the advance of the Ebisu , he was commissioned in 801 to command a campaign against them. He received the title of "Sei-i-taishōgun" (征 夷 大 将軍), which had been created for it. He completely defeated the Ebisu and built Izawa Castle (膽 澤 城) in Mutsu Province to cope with repeated intrusions . Tamuramaro was buried in Kurisu, near Kyoto, and the tomb known by the name Shogun-zuka (将軍 塚) is believed to be his. He is the founder of the famous Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyōto, and he is the ancestor of the Tamura-daimyō in Mutsu.
