Japanese: 浅原為頼 - あさはら・ためより

Year of death: 3/3/9 (1290.4.19)
Year of birth: unknown. Samurai of the late Kamakura period. A member of the Ogasawara clan of the Kai Genji clan. A brave samurai skilled with a strong bow, he lost his land and became a villain, so he was wanted for capture. On the night of March 9, 1290 (Shoō 3), he broke into the Imperial Palace with his sons to search for Emperor Fushimi and the Crown Prince. However, the Emperor fled to Kasuga Palace disguised as a woman. Having failed to find the whereabouts, Yori and his companions were surrounded by samurai who worked for the bonfire who rushed to the scene with the news, and committed suicide in Seiryōden. The circumstances behind the incident were complicated, and it was rumored that Emperor Kameyama, who was dissatisfied with the succession to the throne, was involved, so the Emperor sent a statement to Hojo Sadatoki denying any involvement in the incident.
