Taira no Koremori

[1] In contrast to his father, who was a warrior focused on battle, he grew up to be a young civil nobleman who enjoyed poetry and music.

He invaded Echizen Province three years later, taking Hiuchiyama and several other of 日本語Minamoto no Yoshinaka's strongholds.

However, Yoshinaka was able to take back the strongholds and defeat Koremori during the Battle of Kurikara Pass.

[2][3] Koremori fled the Heike headquarters during the Battle of Yashima, and sought to reunite with his family left behind in the capital.

However, along the way back he met the priest Takiguchi, formerly Saito Tokiyori, on Mount Kōya and became a monk.
