Gokenin A gokenin (御家人 ) was initially a vassal of the shogunate of the Kamakura and the Muromachi periods. In exchange for protection and the right to become "shugo" (governor) or "jitō" (manor's lord), in times of peace a "gokenin" had the duty to protect the imperial court and Kamakura, in case of war had to fight with his forces under the shogun’s flag. From the middle of the thirteenth century, the fact that "gokenin" were allowed to become "de facto" owners of the land they administered, coupled to the custom that all "gokenin" children could inherit, brought to the parcelization of the land and to a consequent weakening of the shogunate. The "gokenin" class ceased to be a significant force during the Muromachi period and was supplanted by the figure of the "daimyō". During the successive Edo period, the term finally came to indicate a direct vassal of the shogun below an "omemie" (御目見 ) , meaning that they did not have the right to an audience with the shogun.
