Mr. Uno

Japanese: 宇野氏 - うのうじ

A group of Yamato warriors in the Heian and early Kamakura periods. Descendants of Seiwa Genji Yorichika. Based in Uno Manor, Uchi County, Yamato Province. Three generations after Yorichika, Yorichika was the first to be called Uno Kanja. His son, Chikahiro, lived in Teshima, Settsu Province, while Chikahiro's son, Chikaharu, lived in Uno and was called Uno Shichiro. During the Hogen Rebellion, Chikaharu went to Kyoto in response to a summons from the Minister of the Left, Fujiwara no Yorinaga, and was arrested for siding with the Retired Emperor Sutoku, but was later pardoned and returned home. The duties of Uno Manor were inherited by Yorichika, followed by Chikahiro, the eldest son, but for some reason Chikahiro did not hand it over to Chikaharu, and instead divided it among his second son, Motoshige, his third son, Chikamitsu, and the daughter, Iyo no Naishi Takakurain no Nyobou.

平安･鎌倉初期の大和の武士団。清和源氏頼親の流。大和国宇智郡宇野荘を本拠とした。頼親より3代後の頼治が初めて宇野冠者を号した。その子親弘は摂津国豊島に住したが，親弘の子親治は宇野に住し宇野七郎と号した。親治は保元の乱に際し左大臣藤原頼長の召に応じて上京し，崇徳上皇方にくみして捕らえられたが，後に許されて帰郷した。宇野荘の荘務は頼治→親弘と長子相続されたが，親弘は故あって親治に譲らず，次男基重，三男親満，女子伊予内侍高倉院女房に分割譲与した。
