Seiwa Genji
The Seiwa Genji (清和源氏) were the most successful and powerful of the many branch families of the Minamoto clan. Many of the most famous Minamoto warriors, including Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder of the Kamakura shogunate, were descended from this line. The family is named after Emperor Seiwa, grandfather of Minamoto no Tsunemoto, patriarch of the Seiwa Genji.
