Japanese: 義経が鞍馬山を出て平泉町へ向かう途中でその家来となったとされるが、いずれも物語中での話であり実際の出自は不明。
English: (According to "Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East) and "The Tale of the Heike," it was said that Tamehisa ISHIDA, a samurai of Sagami Province and a member of the MIURA clan, was the one who killed Yoshinaka.)
Japanese: （『吾妻鏡』『平家物語』によると義仲を討ち取ったのは相模国の武士で、三浦氏の一族・石田為久となっている）
English: According to "Azuma Kagami," Yoshimori captured the supreme commander of the Ise-Taira clan, TAIRA no Munemori and his son, TAIRA no Kiyomune in the Battle of Dan no ura on March 24, 1185.

English: When the prisoners of Heike were being transferred to Kyoto on April 26, Sanehira TOKI, a powerful senior vassal, guarded them from the front and Yoshimori from the back of an ox-drawn carriage which Munemori was in.
Japanese: 4月26日平家の捕虜を京都に護送する際、宗盛らが乗る牛車の前に有力御家人である土肥実平が、後に義盛が付いている
English: On May 17, 1185, Yoshimori started a fight with a retainer of Yoshiyasu ICHIJYO, a husband of Yoritomo's younger sister, about a trivial matter when Yoshitsune was refused permission to go to Kamakura and was ordered to stay at Koshigoe since he incurred the wrath of MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, his older brother.
Japanese: 元暦2年（1185年）5月17日義経が兄である源頼朝の怒りを買い、鎌倉入りを許されず腰越に留まっていた時、義盛は頼朝の妹婿である一条能保の家人と些細な事から乱闘騒ぎを起こしている。
English: The fight was settled through the efforts of Yoshitsune and Yoshiyasu; however, Yoritomo became very angry about it since he thought minor samurai like Yoshimori must not have been arrogant, and it made Yoshitsune's position much worse.
Japanese: 義経と能保が仲裁に入って収まったが、騒ぎを聞いた頼朝は「義盛のごとき下っ端が驕っているなどけしからん」と非常に怒り、いっそう義経の立場を悪くした。
English: Yoshimori accompanied Yoshitsune when Yoshitsune left the capital on November 3, 1185 after having a fight with Yoritomo.
Japanese: 文治元年（1185年）11月3日、義経と頼朝が対立し、義経が都を落ちる際にも同行する。
English: As the ship was heading to the Kyushu region, it wrecked because of a storm, causing them to be separated from one another and Yoshimori stayed hidden alone; however, he was captured by the Kamakura party and imprisoned on August 11, 1186 (according to "Gyokuyo"[Diary of Kanezane KUJO]).
Japanese: 九州へ向かう船が暴風雨により難破し一行が離散した後、義盛は単独で潜伏するが、文治2年（1186年）7月25日鎌倉方に発見され獄門（きょうしゅ）された（『玉葉』）。
English: In the Battle of Shido described in "The Tale of the Heike," while leading sixteen horse soldiers stood in front of 3,000 horse soldiers of the Awa Navy, Yoshimori cleverly tricked Noriyoshi TAGUCHI (an heir to Shigeyoshi TAGUCHI's, who later betrayed the Heike at Dannoura).
Japanese: 『平家物語』の志度合戦では、16騎で3000騎を率いる阿波水軍に向かい、平家の家人・田口教能（のちに壇ノ浦で平家を裏切る田口成良の嫡子）を言葉巧みに欺き降伏させた。
English: Motonaga MIYOSHI was a military commander from Awa Province (now Tokushima Prefecture) in the Sengoku period (period of warring states).
Japanese: 三好元長（みよしもとなが）は、阿波国（現在の徳島県）出身の戦国時代の武将である。
English: His father was Nagahide MIYOSHI according to a prevailing opinion, but there is a different opinion that he was a son of Yukinaga.
Japanese: 父に関しては三好長秀という説が有力であるが、異説として之長の子という説もある。
English: Another opinion says that Nagahide was originally the heir of Yukinaga but Nagahide fell early in battle, so Yukinaga made Motonaga an adopted son of Nagahide.
Japanese: 長秀は本来ならば之長の後継者だったが早くに戦死したため、之長が元長を長秀の養子にしたという説もある。
English: In 1520, Yukinaga, who was the leader of the Miyoshi clan, was executed when his army was defeated in the battle against Takakuni HOSOKAWA, and before that his heir, Nagahide, had already died in battle.
Japanese: 永正17年（1520年）、三好氏の総帥であった之長は細川高国に敗れた際に処刑されており、その世子であった長秀はそれ以前に戦死していた。
English: Therefore, as a direct descendant of Yukinaga, Motonaga became the new family head of the Miyoshi clan, but not finding a chance to counterattack Takakuni, he was blocked in Awa Province with a bereaved son of Sumimoto HOSOKAWA, Harumoto HOSOKAWA.
Japanese: このため、之長の直系であった元長が三好氏の新たな総帥となったものの、高国への反撃に出られぬまま阿波において細川澄元の遺児・細川晴元と共に逼塞していた。
English: The despotic government by Takakuni tried to consolidate its power by making Yoshiharu ASHIKAGA the new Seii Taishogun (literally, the great general who subdues barbarians) when Takakuni was estranged from Yoshitane ASHIKAGA, whom he had put back as the Seii Taishogun, but it revealed its flaw after Takakuni had Motomori KOZAI trapped and killed in August 1526.
Japanese: 征夷大将軍に返り咲かせた足利義稙との仲違いに陥ろうとも、新将軍に足利義晴を据える事で磐石を保とうとした高国の独裁政権は、大永6年（1526年）7月に香西元盛を誅殺した事から綻びを見せた。
English: When brothers of Motomori (such as Tanemichi HATANO) rebelled in Tanba Province in response to Takakuni's unjust punishment on innocent Motomori, the Takakuni government could not suppress the rebellion exposing the weakness of its military force.
Japanese: 謂れの無い上意討ちに元盛の実兄（波多野稙通など）が丹波国で造反するも、高国の政権は鎮定できぬほど軍事力の弱さを露呈したのである。
English: Supporting his lord, Rokuro (Harumoto), who was waging a war backing up Yoshitsuna ASHIKAGA, Motonaga moved up his army to the Kinai region (Provinces surrounding Kyoto and Nara), where he waited until the next year.
Japanese: 足利義維を擁して高国軍に挑む主君・六郎（晴元）を助けて、畿内まで進軍して越年。
English: His army successfully united with the Hatano army which had rebelled against Takakuni, and in the next April (in 1527), they clashed with the government army (the allied forces between Takakuni HOSOKAWA and Yoshiharu ASHIKAGA) and defeated it (the Battle of Katsurakawara).
Japanese: 高国に造反した波多野軍との合流を果たすと、翌7年（1527年）3月には官軍（細川高国と足利義晴の連合軍）と激突し、これを撃破（桂川原の戦い）。
English: Also, Motonaga rendered a great service to establish 'Sakaikubo (Sakaitaiju)' (a government which dominated the Kinai region based in Sakai) so that it could replace the Takakuni government which had fled and lost its political function.
Japanese: さらに、遁走により政治機能を喪失した高国政権に替わるべく「堺公方（堺大樹）」の樹立に貢献。
English: Due to his meritorious deeds by then, in July 1528, he was appointed to shugodai (an acting shugo, who was allowed the military and police authority to rule an appointed region) of Yamashiro Province.
Japanese: 大永8年（1528年）7月、それまでの功績により山城国の守護代に任じられた。
English: However, since he got onto bad terms with his new colleague, Kataharu YANAGIMOTO (a younger brother of Tanemichi HATANO and an older brother of Motomori KOZAI), in 1529 he withdrew to Awa Province to live there.
Japanese: しかし、享禄2年（1529年）には新たに同僚となった柳本賢治（波多野稙通の弟、香西元盛の兄）らと折り合いを悪くした為、阿波に逼塞する。
English: Meanwhile, Takakuni, who had been looking for a chance to make a comeback, finally persuaded the shugodai of Harima Province, Muramune URAGAMI, to support him to add to his son-in-low, Harutomo KITABATAKE, in Ise Province, and they raised an army.
Japanese: その間、再起を期す高国には伊勢国の娘婿・北畠晴具の他に、ようやく播磨国守護代・浦上村宗が応じ、挙兵。
English: In September 1530, the allied forces between Takakuni and Uragami invaded Settsu Province, and that being so, the situation had become against the Sakaikubo group represented by Rokuro (Harumoto).
Japanese: 享禄3年（1530年）8月、その高国と浦上の連合軍には摂津国への侵攻を許すなど、旗色が悪くなった六郎（晴元）たち堺公方派。
English: Finally, some of their members, like Kunimori YAKUSHIJI, surrendered to the Takakuni army; thus the Sakaikubo group was falling into a critical situation.
Japanese: ついには薬師寺国盛のような高国軍に降伏する者が現れるなど、窮地に追い込まれつつあった。
English: In February 1531, begged by Rokuro (Harumoto), Motonaga came back but the situation was critical.
Japanese: 享禄4年（1531年）2月、六郎（晴元）の懇願によって復帰するも、事態は逼迫していた。
English: The Sakaikubo group had not been able to take effective action to deal with the allied forces of Takakuni and Uragami, which had been advancing accumulating momentum, while winning many battles since Harima Province.
Japanese: 播磨からの転戦に次ぐ転戦で、破竹の進撃を見せてきた高国と浦上の連合軍には手を焼かされ続けていた堺公方派。
English: In return, the Sakaikubo army, having gained reinforcements of 8,000 troops from Awa Province, beat the vanguard of the Takakuni army.
Japanese: これに対し、阿波からの増派軍8000を得て、高国軍の先鋒に打撃を与えた堺公方派であった。
English: However, even though they got reinforcements, the Sakaikubo army needed to spare more than half of its troops to protect Yoshitsuna ASHIKAGA who located in Sakai, so the number of the troops was not really enough to face the Takakuni army, and in consequence, the Sakaikubo army relied much on the ability of Motonaga (the Battle of Nakajima).
Japanese: しかし、増派軍を加えたとはいえ、堺に鎮座する足利義維を守るための戦力を半数以上も割かねばならぬ為、純粋に高国軍と対峙するには少なく、元長の手腕に依存するところが大きかった（中嶋の戦い）。
English: Then, in July that year, by the betrayal of Masasuke (政祐) AKAMATSU, whose troops arrived as reinforcements of the Takakuni army, the situation changed.
Japanese: そして同年6月、高国軍の増援として現れた赤松政祐の裏切りにより事態は進展。
English: The Sakaikubo group achieved the goal to eliminate their mortal enemy, Takakuni, but they had a discord inside over the policy to choose next.
Japanese: 仇敵・高国の討滅という目標を達成した堺公方派ではあったが、その内部では以後の方針を巡って不協和音が生じだした。
English: Surprisingly, under the situation where the Sakaikubo government led by Rokuro (Harumoto) would be officially approved only if it divested the incumbent Seii Taishogun, Yoshiharu, of his rank and made Yoshitsuna, whom it had been backing up, the new Seii Taishogun, Rokuro tried to push on with the plan to reconcile with Yoshiharu.
Japanese: 現職の義晴から将軍職を剥奪し、自分たちが擁する義維を新将軍に据えさえすれば、六郎（のちの晴元）の堺幕府は公認されるという中で、あろうことか義晴将軍との和睦を推し進めようとしたのである。
English: Together with Yoshitaka HATAKEYAMA (a brother-in-law of Rokuro) in Kawachi, Motonaga solidly opposed the decision of Rokuro (Harumoto) that equaled the abandonment of the Sakaikubo government they had spent a great deal of efforts to build, but instead of being accepted, Motonaga's opinion resulted in making a big gulf between him and Rokuro.
Japanese: せっかく苦労して築いてきた堺幕府の放棄にも等しい六郎（のちの晴元）の決断には、河内の畠山義堯（六郎の義兄弟）と共に断固反対したが、聞き容れてもらえなかったばかりか、かえって大きな溝をつくってしまう。
English: His magnificent exploits so far may have worked against him; gradually Rokuro came to take precautions against him.
Japanese: これまでの大功が災いしたのか、六郎からは、その存在を次第に危険視されてゆく。
English: In addition, Nagamase KIZAWA, who was targeting a promising position as a retainer of Rokuro, and Masanaga MIYOSHI, who was one of the Miyoshi clan but was hoping for the downfall of Motonaga, carried out secret maneuvers against Motonaga, and so the gulf between them became even bigger.
Japanese: しかも、六郎の配下としての有望な地位を狙う木沢長政や、元長の失脚を願う一門の三好政長らの暗躍もあって、その溝は一段と深まった。
English: Soon, Motonaga was put in a difficult position because of Kizawa, so he made an ally with Yoshitaka HATAKEYAMA (the lord of Kizawa), who was also cautious of Kizawa's revolt against Yoshitaka.
Japanese: やがて、木沢の存在で立場を悪くしていった元長は、同じく木沢の下克上を警戒する畠山義堯（木沢の主筋）と結託。
English: Under the pretext that Motonaga was supporting Yoshitaka to kill Kizawa as an offender, in September that year, they besieged Iimoriyama-jo Castle, where Kizawa resided.
Japanese: 義堯による上意討ちを支援する形で、同年8月には木沢の居城・飯盛山城を攻囲した。
English: It was only two months after the elimination of Takakuni that the conflict occurred inside the Sakaikubo group, but even so, once they withdrew their troops in response to Rokuro's request to protect Kizawa.
Japanese: 高国討滅から、わずか2ヶ月という堺公方派の内輪揉めであったが、木沢を擁護しようとする六郎からの撤兵要請もあって、1度は兵を退けた。
English: However, in June of the following year, 1532, Yoshitaka HATAKEYAMA besieged the Iimoriyama-jo Castle again out of the fear for the ambition of crafty Kizawa.
Japanese: しかし、奸物・木沢の野心を危ぶんだ畠山義堯によって、翌5年（1532年）5月、飯盛山城を再攻囲。
English: Again, his lord, Rokuro, assumed a position to protect Kizawa, but nevertheless they did not stop the siege of Iimoriyama-jo Castle, and so Kizawa nearly went to his fate.
Japanese: この時も、主筋の六郎が木沢を擁護する姿勢を見せていたが、それにも構わず飯盛山城の包囲し続けた為、木沢の命運は尽きかけた。
English: The besieging army was routed in no time and Motonaga barely escaped with his life and went back to Kenpon-ji Temple in Sakai.
Japanese: 攻囲軍は瞬く間に追い散らされ、元長も命からがら堺の顕本寺(堺市)まで逃げ戻った。
English: Meanwhile, on July 29, Yoshitaka HATAKEYAMA, who may have resigned his fate in persistent pursuit by the Ikko-ikki troops, killed himself.
Japanese: 一方、追撃の手を緩めぬ一揆軍に観念したのか同月17日には、畠山義堯は自害した。
English: Rokuro and Kizawa had concluded that it would be impossible to defeat the besieging army on their own, and decided to use the religious confrontation between the Ikkoshu sect and the Hokkeshu sect.
Japanese: 自力での攻囲軍排除を不可能と判断した六郎や木沢たちは、かねてからの一向宗と法華宗の宗教対立を利用。
English: At the time, the more important object for the Ikko-ikki troops was rather to subjugate the enemy of Buddhist for the Ikkoshu sect, than to dispel the besieging army surrounding Iimoriyama-jo Castle.
Japanese: この時の一揆軍にとって、飯盛山城の攻囲軍を追い散らす事よりも、一向宗にとっての仏敵討滅が目的であった。
English: By the time the Ikko-ikki troops besieged Kenpon-ji Temple on August 1, the number of the troops had increased even more (it is said that it was 100 thousands in total), and so all Motonaga could do was to let Yoshitsuna ASHIKAGA escape.
Japanese: 同月20日、顕本寺を取り囲んだ頃には一向一揆軍は一段と膨れ上がっており（総勢10万とも言われる）、足利義維を逃がすのに精一杯だった。
English: Forsaken and disgraced by his lord to suffer a huge defeat which would have been a victory otherwise, Motonaga killed himself.
Japanese: 主君から見限られた上に、勝ち戦を大敗北に貶められた元長は、自害して果てた。
English: Although Motonaga died in mortification, his sons, Nagayoshi MIYOSHI, Yoshikata MIYOSHI, Kazumasa SOGO and Fuyuyasu ATAGI, were all great commanders, and they led the Miyoshi clan to thrive greatly after his death.
Japanese: こうして無念の最期を遂げてしまった元長であるが、彼の子である三好長慶、三好義賢、十河一存、安宅冬康らはいずれも名将で、彼の息子たちによって三好氏は大きく飛躍。
English: Twenty years after his death, Nanshu-ji Temple was built in Sakai by Nagayoshi to pray to Buddha for the repose of Motonaga's soul.
Japanese: 死後から20年余、長慶によって堺には元長の菩提を弔う南宗寺が建立された。
English: Mochimitsu KANO (date of birth unknown - 1180) was a busho (Japanese military commander) in the end of the Heian period.
Japanese: 狩野茂光（かのもちみつ、生年未詳-治承4年（1180年））は平安時代末期の武将。
English: Although most of the family's territory was mountains and hills, they established the greatest influence in the Izu Peninsula since they had Makinogo, a famous meadow of Izu, and a lot of good horses.
Japanese: 勢力範囲は山がちではあったが、伊豆を代表する牧草地だった牧之郷を領有し良馬を多数有したため伊豆半島最大の勢力を築くこととなった。
English: The family's territory included the Izu-oshima Island; and when MINAMOTO no Tametomo was exiled to the Izu-oshima Island for the commitment to the Hogen War (1156), he was appointed the surveillance.
Japanese: 伊豆大島を所領としており、保元の乱（1156年）で大島に流罪となった源為朝の監視役となる。
English: Later Tametomo, who was still an exile, raised an army and led the local ruling families of the nearby areas to become independent, so Mochimitsu hunted him and forced him to commit suicide in 1170.
Japanese: やがて為朝が流人の身でありながら周辺諸豪族を切り従えて自立の動きを見せたため、嘉応2年（1170年）にこれを追討し自害に追い込んでいる。
English: In 1180, when MINAMOTO no Yoritomo who had been also exiled to Izu Province raised an army to fight against Heike (the Taira family), Mochimitsu joined him and fought against Kagechika OBA and Sukechika ITO who supported the Taira family in the Battle of Ishibashiyama.
Japanese: 治承4年（1180年）、同じく伊豆国において流人生活を送っていた源頼朝が反平家の兵を挙げるとその足下に駆けつけ、石橋山の戦いで平家方の大庭景親・伊東祐親らと交戦。
English: There is a theory that says that Mochimitsu was fat and could not run fast, hated to be a drag and asked his grandson Nobutsuna TASHIRO to assist him in committing hara-kiri by beheading him.
Japanese: 一説には、茂光は肥満体であったため思うように走ることができず、周囲の足手まといになることを嫌い、孫の田代信綱に懇願して介錯されたともいう。
English: The Kano clan flourished from the Nara period to the conquest of Odawara as samurai family, and was one of the good families of Izu, and their descendants are still living in Izu at the present day.
Japanese: 狩野氏は古代から小田原征伐にいたるまで武家として活躍し、末裔が現代まで伊豆に多数残り、伊豆名門の一つである。

Japanese: 大久保忠教（おおくぼただたか、永禄3年（1560年）-寛永16年2月29日(旧暦)（1639年4月2日））は戦国時代(日本)から江戸時代前期の武将。
English: Okubo moved from place to place to fight under the direction of Tadayo, Tadasuke and the like; in the siege of Takatenjin-jo Castle, he defeated Motonobu OKABE.
Japanese: 以後忠世や忠佐らの旗下で各地を転戦し、高天神城（攻めで岡部元信を討った。）
