Tomoe Gozen
Late 12th century · Samurai of the Genpei War
Ah, for a worthy foe! I would show my lord one last battle.
Who she was
Tomoe Gozen appears in The Tale of the Heike as a woman warrior in the army of Minamoto no Yoshinaka during the Genpei War, the civil war between the Taira and Minamoto clans. The tale calls her a strong archer and swordswoman, worth a thousand warriors.
In 1184, at the battle of Awazu, she is among the last riders at Yoshinaka’s side. Historians are unsure how much of her story is true.
