 In the meantime, other male members of the clan aside from the "ōhōri" - who cannot step outside the boundaries of the region, as well as come into contact with sources of impurity such as the flesh and blood of men or horses - began to pursue military careers.One of the first recorded warriors from the clan was Tamenaka (為仲), a son of then "ōhōri" Tamenobu (為信).Tamenaka served under Minamoto no Yoshiie during the Zenkunen War (1051-1063) under the orders of his father, who could not participate himself due to his priestly status.
