		Yorimasa was a hero once; the best of his clan's archers, and the previous Emperor gave him the famous sword named 'The Lion King' ('shishio'), or at least so said the legend.
		The tradition of honorable suicide ('seppuku' in Japanese) started from this one; Minamoto Yorimasa was the 'founder' of the act that later came to be inseparable from a samurai's code of honor.
		He was fighting the Taira, not the Throne, yet having the person of the Emperor meant getting the entire realm.
