But, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a sucker for imperial titles because of his original humblest origin -- a peasant's son (see the Japanese sociopolitical ranks at another page of this section) -- then the Imperial House had to make up new titles especially tailored for him.
Note about the Princes: they were siblings of Emperors, who didn't become patriarchs of clans.

His descendents were to continue acting as regents for the shogun until 1333, when the Kamakura Shogunate fell.
The fifth Kamakura shogun was also a Fujiwara (Yoritsuga), but from 1252 on, the Hojos invited imperial princes to assume the role, while they maintained power.
The Imperial prince-shoguns were Munetaka (1252-1266), Koreyasu (1266-1289), Hisaakira (1289-1308), and Morikuni (1308-1333).

Precious little else is know for certain about Yoshitsune's youth, although later storytellers filled in the gaps with a series of adventures, one of which had Yoshtisune slipping away from the monastary to be trained in the arts of swordsmanship by the mythical tengu.
In May 1180 Prince Mochihito, the son of Retired emperor Go-Shirakawa, issued a statement urging the Minamoto to rise against the Taira.
While Mochihito would be killed in June and Minamoto Yorimasa crushed at the Battle of the Uji, a fire had been set and in September Yoritomo raised an army in the Kanto.
In a celebrated incident, the Taira, hoping to make their enemy waste arrows, hoisted up a fan on one of their ships and challenged the Minamoto to test their archery skill on it.
A certain Nasu Munetaka, a young and diminutive warrior known for his skill with a bow, was summoned and Yoshitsune ordered him to make a try at the fan.
