ميناموتو نو يوريتومو was a prominent Japanese military leader and the founder of the كاماكورا شوجunate, which marked the beginning of the feudal era in Japan. Born in 1147, he played a crucial role in the الحرب الأهلية بين العشائر during the late Heian period, ultimately leading the عشيرة ميناموتو to victory against the عشيرة تائيرا. In 1192, after his victory, يوريتومو was appointed as the first shōgun, establishing a new government system that shifted power from the imperial court to military leaders. His leadership laid the foundation for the samurai class and significantly influenced Japanese history and culture.
