A prominent gokenin of the Kamakura shogunate, he was the great-grandson of Adachi Morinaga, serving as a close aide to Minamoto no Yoritomo during his exile. He held the positions of shugo of Kōzuke and Higo, and was the third (eldest) son of Adachi Yoshikage.[1] During the Mongol invasions of Japan, his fleet participated in the raids against the Mongol forces during the Battle of Kōan.[2]
