*''Japanese'': [[比企]]能員 ''(Hiki Yoshikazu)''
Hiki Yoshikazu
Yoshikazu was an adopted son of [[Minamoto no Yoritomo|Minamoto no Yoritomo's]] wetnurse, and elder brother to [[Tango no tsubone]] (mother of [[Shimazu Tadahisa]]). When Yoritomo called his banners, Yoshikazu took part in traveling to the western provinces to help fight the [[Taira clan]]. Yoshikazu was a close and loyal retainer to Yoritomo, and married his daughter [[Wakasa no tsubone]] to Yoritomo's son [[Minamoto no Yoriie]].
Following Yoritomo's death, the [[Hojo clan (Hojo Regents)|Hôjô]] attempted to lessen the Hiki clan's power. Angered by this, Yoshikazu led an uprising against [[Hojo Tokimasa|Hôjô Tokimasa]] in [[1203]], with the support of Yoriie. This ended, however, in Yoshikazu's death, and in the destruction of the Hiki clan, as they were hunted down by Tokimasa's men.
Yoshikazu's son [[Hiki Yoshimoto]] survived, however, and established a small meditation hall on the grounds of Yoshikazu's [[Kamakura]] mansion; this hall later developed into the Buddhist temple [[Myohon-ji|Myôhon-ji]], which survives today.<ref>Plaques on-site.; "[http://www.kamakura-burabura.com/meisyokamakuramyouhonji.htm Myôhon-ji]."
