Half-divine son of Hachiman under the Mongán-pattern medieval-literary divine-paternity claim. Historical samurai (1039-1106 CE), distinguished commander in the Former Nine-Years and Later Three-Years Wars. The Hachimantarō naming at his genpuku ceremony at Iwashimizu Hachimangū, the father-Yoriyoshi dream of Hachiman granting the sword, and the Heike Monogatari's explicit "son or avatar of Hachiman" attribution constitute the medieval-literary divine-paternity tradition. Posthumously elevated to kami status by the Minamoto clan as their patron ancestral kami; the Hachiman-Minamoto-tutelary relationship Yoshiie cemented became the religious foundation of the Kamakura shogunate founded by his great-grandson Yoritomo. Biological father Minamoto no Yoriyoshi encoded as social-father; the divine-paternity tradition is the operative parentage under the registry's strict-criterion-with-Mongán-pattern philosophy.
