Rokuhara Tandai was set up after the Jokyu Incident in 1221. The two chiefs were called Kitakata (北方) and Minamikata (南方). Kitakata was higher-ranking than Minamikata. Like shikken and rensho, both posts were monopolized by the Hojo clan. The agency was destroyed with the fall of Kamakura shogunate in 1333.
