Mutô Sukeyori was an early-[[Kamakura period]] samurai who held the titles of [[Dazaifu]] Shôni, [[Chikugo province|Chikugo]] ''no kami'', and ''[[shugo]]'' of [[Chikuzen province|Chikuzen]], [[Buzen province|Buzen]], [[Hizen province|Hizen]], and [[Tsushima province]]s.

He was the son of [[Muto Yorihira|Mutô Yorihira]]; the [[Muto clan|Mutô clan]] was originally from [[Musashi province]], and had been retainers to the [[Taira clan]], but later became retainers to [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]]. Serving in that capacity, in [[1191]]/1, Sukeyori traveled with [[Taira Moritoki]] to [[Ise province|Ise]] and [[Shima province]]s, on an inspection tour confirming the extermination of the Taira.

He journeyed to [[Kyushu]] in [[1193]], where he succeeded [[Amano Tokage|Amano Tôkage]] as ''[[Chinzei Bugyo|Chinzei Bugyô]]''. In [[1226]], he was then appointed Dazaifu Shôni, and took over the administration of the entire island.

He is buried in [[Dazaifu (city)|Dazaifu]] alongside his son [[Shoni Sukeyoshi|Mutô Sukeyoshi]], who took the name Shôni (after their government post), marking the beginning of the [[Shoni clan|Shôni clan]].
