Mr. Hemi - Hemiuji

Japanese: 逸見氏 - へみうじ

A powerful clan in Kai during the Middle Ages. Also called "Henmiuji". The clan originated when Kai Genji Yoshikiyo's eldest son Kiyomitsu (1110-68) lived in Wakamiko, Hemi (present-day Suwa-machi, Yamanashi Prefecture) and called himself Hemi no Kanja, and his eldest son Mitsunaga adopted the surname Hemi. Mitsunaga followed Minamoto no Yoritomo in the Genpei War, and the Hemi clan became vassals of the shogunate. The Hemi clan continued to exert influence in Kai and fought against the Takeda clan, who were of the same clan. In 1416 (Oei 23), during the time of Arinao, when Takeda Nobumitsu was defeated and killed in the Uesugi Zenshu Rebellion, he tried to become Kai Shugo by allying himself with Ashikaga Mochiuji.

中世甲斐の豪族。〈へんみうじ〉ともいう。甲斐源氏義清の長子清光(1110‐68)が逸見の若神子（わかみこ）(現，山梨県須玉町)に住んで逸見冠者と称し，長男光長が逸見を姓としたことにはじまる。光長は源平争乱に源頼朝に従い，逸見氏は幕府御家人となった。その後も逸見氏は甲斐に勢力を張り同族の武田氏と争った。1416年(応永23)有直のとき，上杉禅秀の乱で武田信満が敗死すると，足利持氏にくみして甲斐守護になろうとした。
