*''Japanese'': [[三浦]] 義村 ''(Miura Yoshimura)''

Miura Yoshimura was a close follower of [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]].

After fighting for the [[Minamoto clan]] in the [[Genpei War]], Yoshimura also led troops for the Minamoto against the [[Oshu Fujiwara|Ôshû Fujiwara]] in [[1189]]. He defended or protected [[Minamoto no Sanetomo]] on a number of occasions, including contributing to the suppression of the [[1213]] [[Wada Conflict]].

Some scholars, however, suspect Yoshimura of having been an accomplice involved in planning or supporting [[Minamoto no Kugyo|Minamoto no Kugyô's]] assassination of Sanetomo, on account of indications in the ''[[Azuma kagami]]'' and other texts that Kugyô fled to Yoshimura's residence immediately after the assassination and sought to discuss with Yoshimura the process of how Kugyô would be named [[shogun]].

As late as [[1224]], Yoshimura stood loyally by the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô clan]], helping in that year to derail a plan by the [[Iga family]] to topple the Hôjô.
