A samurai from the late Heian period. Probably from Totomi Province (Shizuoka Prefecture). Son of Kamata Michikiyo. A retainer of Minamoto no Yoshitomo, he was the son of a wet nurse. During the Hogen Rebellion (1156), he fought against Minamoto no Tametomo at Shirakawa Palace in Kyoto, and was instrumental in shooting Tametomo in the cheek. When Yoshitomo, who had won the rebellion, was troubled by the imperial order to behead his father Tameyoshi, Yoshitomo offered him advice and cut off Tameyoshi's head at Shichijo Suzaku. When Fujiwara no Nobuyori temporarily took control of the government during the Heiji Rebellion (1159), he was appointed Hyoe no Jo and changed his name to Masaie. After being defeated by Taira no Kiyomori, he fled to the eastern provinces with Yoshitomo, and sought refuge with his father-in-law Nagata Tadamune who lived in Owari Province, but was betrayed and killed along with Yoshitomo.
