Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (758–811)<ref name="Bary266"/> was a Japanese general who fought against the [[Emishi]] tribes of northern Japan (settled in the territory that today integrates the provinces of Mutsu and Dewa). Tamarumaro was the first general to bend these tribes, integrating their territory to that of the [[Yamato Kingship|Yamato State]]. For his military feats he was named sei-i taishōgun and probably because he was the first to win the victory against the northern tribes he is generally recognized as the first shogun in history.<ref name="Bary266" /><ref>Andressen & Osborne, 2002:48.</ref><ref>Ramirez-faria, 283.</ref> (Note: according to historical sources [[Ōtomo no Otomaro]] also had the title of sei-i taishōgun).
