Taira no Yoshifumi (平 良文) was a samurai and military lord of the Heian period.
Called the "father of Musashi Plain development," the eight Taira clans of East Japan are said to have descended from him.
In 923, at the age of 36, Yoshifumi received an imperial edict from Emperor Daigo to "quench the bandits in Sagami Province" and went to the east region to defeat them.
[2] There is no mention of Yoshifumi in Shōmonki, and his detailed movements during the Jōhei Tengyō War are unknown.
[1] As Yoshifumi does not appear in Shōmonki, and because there is contradictory information regarding the genealogy of the eight Bandō Taira clans in Sonpi Bunmyaku, there are also historians who point out the possibility of clans that had no relation to Taira no Takamochi to have used a deceptive name.
