Yoshimitsu Murakami

A warrior in the late Kamakura period. Son of Nobuyasu. "Taiheiki" was written by Yoshimitsu, and "Sonpibunmyaku" by Yoshihito. Commonly known as Hikoshirō. Became a Junior Fifth Rank and Saemon no Kami. During the Genkō Incident (1331), he accompanied Prince Moriyoshi along with his son Yoshitaka. After Kasagi (Kasagi-cho, Soraku-gun, Kyoto Prefecture) fell, he helped the prince flee to Mount Koya. In 1333 (Genkō 3/Shokei 2), when the shogunate army attacked Yoshino Castle (Yoshino-gun, Nara Prefecture) where the prince was hiding, he committed suicide in place of the prince, allowing the prince to escape. He was later awarded the rank of Junior Third Rank.
