		Sato Tadanobu's bravery in defense of his lord Yoshitsune, the most celebrated of all the tragic warrior-heroes in Japanese history, is recounted in many tales and ballads of the medieval period.
		Yoshitsune's brilliant military successes against their clan's arch-rivals, the fierce captains and generals of the Taira clan, had helped Yoritomo gain total control of the country.
		Together with his master Yoshitsune, Sato Tadanobu is thus the very type of tragic hero whom the Japanese have always held in the highest esteem: bold, single-minded, utterly loyal, betrayed by implacable circumstance, and in the end expiring without complaint in the face of hopeless odds.

		Yoshitsune's betrayal was only made possible by the cowardice, greed, or perfidy of many petty lords and scheming officals who turned on Yoshitsune in order to benefit or protect their own positions.

		The other element of style is the brisk, action-oriented narrative, which shows an author keenly aware of the dramatic elements in his story and unwilling to sacrifice the dynamism for needless detail.
		Suffice to say that the tale preserves the commonly accepted interpretation of Yoshitsune's downfall as being caused by Kajiwara Kagesue's aspersions which inflamed Yoritomo's suspicions that his brother was fomenting rebellion.
		Of course, this statement should be balanced by the self-sacrifice and constancy of other women like Shizuka and Yoshitsune's wife, whose bravery rivals that of the most trustworthy retainers.

		From then on Yoshitsune took flight from his murderous brother, only to be ultimately forced to commit 'seppuku' (ritual suicide) rather than be captured in a final battle at Koromogawa on May 16, 1189.
