Nasu no Yoichi

Nasu no Yoichi was a warrior of the late Heian period from the Nasu clan, a family of northern Shimotsuke Province. Local tradition holds that he was born in 1169 at Nasu-Kanda Castle, a fortified residence founded around 1125 by his ancestor Fujiwara no Sukeie. He entered Japanese memory as the archer who, during the Battle of Yashima (1185) in the Genpei War, struck with an arrow the fan raised on a Taira boat. His memory remains attached to the Nasu sites at Nakagawa, notably the remains of Nasu-Kanda Castle, now a National Historic Site.
