Mimorowake

Mimorowake is said to have been a Prince, during the reign of Emperor Keikō.

He is sent to take over the post, governing the 15 Provinces of the Tōsandō, that  Hikosajima was unable to fill.

He is said to have ruled well and when he was attacked by the Emishi he fought back with the leaders Ashifurihe, Ohohafurihe and Tohotsu Kurahohe bowing to him in defeat.

They handed their territory to him and so he pardoned them. Those who did not submit he had killed.¹
