Wada Yoshimori

Wada Yoshimori (和田義盛, 1147–1213) was an early Kamakura period military commander. A gokenin of the Kamakura shogunate, he was the first director (別当 "bettō") of the Samurai-dokoro.

He was son of Miura Yoshiaki and grandson of Sugimoto Yoshimune, making him a descendent of the Heike. Among his sons were Wada Yoshinao, Asahina Yoshihide, and Wada Yoshishige. He also had a nephew, Wada Tanenage.

He fought in the battles of Ichi-no-Tani (1184) and Dannoura (1185) and participated in the campaign against Kiso Yoshinaka (1184) and Fujiwara Yasuhira (1189).
