Minamoto no Tsunemoto was a [[Heian period]] [[Minamoto clan]] [[samurai]] elite. A son of [[Minamoto Sadazumi]], sixth son of [[Emperor Seiwa]], he is considered the progenitor or founder of the Seiwa Genji, the branch of the Minamoto clan to which [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], [[Minamoto no Yoshitsune]], and various other prominent late 12th century figures belonged, and from which the [[Ashikaga shogunate|Ashikaga]] and [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa shoguns]] claimed descent.<ref>Karl Friday, ''Samurai Warfare and the State in Early Medieval Japan'', Routledge (2004), 9.</ref>
Tsunemoto is known for his role in defeating [[Fujiwara no Sumitomo]]. He is also known for a legendary story in which a supernatural being in the form of a [[deer]] attacked the emperor at the Jôganden hall within the [[Kyoto Imperial Palace]]; Tsunemoto dispatched the being with a single arrow, stopping it before it reached the emperor.<ref>Gallery labels, "Moon Over the Inner Palace, 1887," Santa Barbara Museum of Art.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/15949468432/in/photostream/]</ref>
