Minamoto no Yoshihira (源 義平) (1140–1160) also known as 'Akugenda' was a Minamoto clan warrior who fought alongside his father, Minamoto no Yoshitomo, in the Heiji Rebellion.
Story
His mother was the daughter of Miura Yoshiaki, thus indicating the close ties between the two families. His brothers were Minamoto no Tomonaga (also killed during the Heiji rebellion), Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Minamoto no Noriyori and Minamoto no Yoritomo. He married the daughter of Minamoto no Yoshishige, Shojuhime.
In 1155, Yoshihira killed his uncle, Minamoto no Yoshikata, the father of Minamoto no Yoshinaka.
