*''Born: [[716]]?''
*''Died: [[785]]''
*''Japanese'': [[大伴]] 家持 ''(Ôtomo no Yakamochi)''
Ôtomo no Yakamochi was a [[Nara period]] [[kuge|court noble]] and poet, known for his poems in the ''[[Manyoshu|Man'yôshû]]'' and his involvement in the compilation of that collection, and as one of the "36 Poetry Immortals" (''[[Sanjurokkasen|Sanjûrokkasen]]'').
He was a son of [[Otomo no Tabito|Ôtomo no Tabito]], who is also known for his poems in the ''Man'yôshû''.
Yakamochi was of the Junior Third Rank and held the titles of Chûnagon, and ''Jissetsu seitô shôgun'' (meaning he was granted a sword by the emperor and, nominally at least, named Shogun for the Pacification of the East). He was forced to resign his positions, however, after being caught up in some political incident.
