(d.
1180), also known as Ōba Saburō Kagechika, was a samurai of
Japan's
Heian period. The third son of Oba Kageyoshi, he fought alongside his father, against the
Minamoto clan, in the
Hōgen Rebellion of 1156. Facing off against
Minamoto no Tametomo during the Hōgen Rebellion, Kagechika is credited with challenging Tametomo, crying Lord
Hachiman! During the
Three Years War, in the attack upon the stockade at
Kanazawa,
Kamakura Gongorō Kagemasa, then only sixteen years of age, went to the front of the battle, and when his left eye was pierced by an arrow through his visor he loosed a shaft in return and took his assailant. I am the youngest descendant of that Gongorō, Oba Heita Kageyoshi's son, Oba Saburō Kagechika. Come on and fight!<ref>Sansom, George (1958). 'A History of Japan to 1334'.
