Taira no Kagekiyo was a prominent [[Taira clan]] warrior who fought against the [[Minamoto clan]] in the [[Genpei War]] of [[1180]]-[[1185]]. He was the second son of [[Taira no Tadakiyo]].<br />
<br />
Kagekiyo is said to have been an excellent warrior and is particularly famed for a particular encounter with [[Mionoya Juro|Mionoya Jûrô]] during the [[battle of Yashima]].<ref>Royall Tyler, ''Japanese Nô Dramas'', Penguin Books (1992), 329-343.</ref><br />
<br />
Kagekiyo is believed to have died at the 1185 [[battle of Dan-no-ura]] alongside many other Taira warriors. However, in [[Noh]] plays such as ''[[Kagekiyo]]'', as well as ''[[bunraku]]'' and [[kabuki]] plays derived from them, he is said to have survived the war and to have gone into retirement (or into hiding) near [[Atsuta Shrine]] in [[Nagoya]], where he is said to have had a child with a [[yujo|courtesan]]. Kagekiyo is also said to have suffered from blindness later in life.<ref>Gallery labels, Yokoi Kinkoku "Portrait of Kagekiyo," LACMA, 2012.</ref><br />
<br />
A small "Kagekiyo Shrine" (''Kagekiyo-sha'') stands near Atsuta today; people pray to the spirit of Kagekiyo to help heal their eye ailments or vision impairments.<ref>Plaques on-site at Kagekiyo-sha, 402 Godocho, Atsuta Ward, Nagoya, Aichi 456-0043.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/45389942615/sizes/l/]</ref><br />
