Bio:
A messenger came and informed Prince Mochihito that Kiyomori knew of his plan to rebel and that guards were coming to banish him. As he was leaving, the prince forgot his precious flute and Hasebe Nobutsura of the left watch ran after him to give it back. He said that everyone knew he was loyal to Prince Mochihito and it would be a disgrace to his name if he was not at the house when the guards came. He stayed at the prince's house and he fought the guards, but was eventually captured and sent to Rokuhara. He was taken to Kiyomori to be executed but in the end, Kiyomori decided to banish him to Hino in the province of Hōki. After some time, Nobutsura joined Kajiwara Kagetoki. Minamoto no Yoritomo was so impressed that he appointed him to govern Noto.
