Japanese: 武家政権の創始者として頼朝の業績は高く評価されており、ほとんどの日本人は義務教育で頼朝の名を学んでいる。
English: That is because Yoritomo killed many of his brothers in the same clan, and rarely led an army himself (though he was said to be excellent at martial arts, did not show a distinguished achievement as war commander), but did achieve the establishment of the Kamakura bakufu mainly by political negotiation.
Japanese: それは、多くの同族兄弟を殺し、自ら兵を率いることが少なく（頼朝自身は武芸は長けていたといわれるが、戦闘指揮官としては格別の実績を示していない）、主に政治的交渉で鎌倉幕府の樹立を成し遂げたことによる。
English: As Yoritomo caused the death of Yoshitsune, the youngest brother who was immensely popular from sympathy rendered for a tragic hero, the popularity of Yoritomo is not as high in spite of his achievements and he is rarely described as a protagonist in novels.
Japanese: 判官贔屓で高い人気を持つ末弟・源義経を死に至らせたことなどから、頼朝の人気はその業績にもかかわらずそれほど高くなく、小説などに主人公として描かれることも稀である。
English: Above are mainly ratings of the present, but many people had also rated Yoritomo in the past.
Japanese: 以上は概ね現代における評価であるが、頼朝は過去にも多くの人物により評されてきた。
English: When the bakufu opposed the Imperial Court in the Jokyu War, which happened after Yoritomo's death, Masako HOJO spoke to the gathered gokenin as follows.
Japanese: 頼朝の死後に起きた承久の乱で朝廷と幕府が争うと、北条政子は集まった御家人らに対し次のように述べた。
