Chinzei Hachirou Tametomo
鎮西八郎為朝
In Kamimine Town, Saga Prefecture, a place steeped in local legend, the story follows the samurai military commander Minamoto no Tametomo. Known as "Hachirou Chinzei," he built a castle in the region and is celebrated as a master of the bow, a giant of a man with a fierce temper that earned him a reputation for violence.
Yet beneath his rough exterior, Tametomo possessed a warm and kind heart, full of humanity. His army is said to have defeated 50,000 enemies, leaving behind many legends that still echo in the town today.
