About Yashiro Kageyori
Lived 1563 – 1608 (aged 44–45). Yashiro Kageyori was a military commander.
(1563–1608) was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi-Momoyama period through the early Edo period. He served the Date clan during the tenure of Date Masamune as lord. Kageyori was also known as Genzaburō (源三郎) and Kageyuhyōe (勘解由兵衛).
Despite the abolishment of the Yashiro family during Kageyori's father Shuri's headship, Masamune allowed Kageyori to revive it. Kageyori was given many jobs surrounding repression of dissent. These included killing Masamune's younger brother Kojirō (he refused), hunting down the remnants of the Ōsaki and Kasai uprisings, and taking Date Shigezane's residence by force.
