Kajiwara Kagesue (梶原 景季, 1162 - February 6, 1200), was a samurai in service to the Minamoto clan during the Genpei War of Japan's late Heian period.[1]
The Heike monogatari records an anecdote about a friendly competition with Sasaki Takatsuna prior to the second battle of Uji.[2] Mounted on Yoritomo's black horse, Surusumi, he races Takatsuna across the River Uji.[3][4]
Kagesue was killed along with his father Kagetoki at Suruga by men loyal to Minamoto no Yoriie.[1]
