*''Died: [[1185]]?''
*''Japanese'': [[平]] 行盛 ''(Taira no Yukimori)''
Taira no Yukimori was a [[Taira clan]] warrior who fought in the [[Genpei Wars]] and is believed to have likely died in the [[Battle of Dan no Ura]] in [[1185]].
According to local legends associated with a Taira no Yukimori Shrine (''Taira no Yukimori jinja'') on the island of [[Amami Oshima|Amami Ôshima]], Yukimori did not die in the battle, however, but instead fled to Amami along with his compatriots [[Taira no Arimori]] and [[Taira no Sukemori]]. The three "invaded" or attacked the island and set up fortresses in three different parts of the island, the sites of which later became [[Shinto shrines]] dedicated to their memory. Legends associated with the Yukimori Shrine assert that he played a notable role in guiding or teaching the locals in techniques of rice agriculture and fishing, and in matters of morals and ethics, for which he is still praised today.
