Around the deposition of Shogun Minamoto no Yoriie in 1203, Yoshitoki and Masako worked together to stabilize the situation, paving the way for his later assumption of the regency.
  2. 1205–1224Kamakura · KantōHe succeeded his father Tokimasa as regent and co-led the shogunate with the nun-shogun Masako. Between 1211 and 1220 he strengthened the Hyōjōshū system and managed gokenin lands and litigation, making the shogunal administration increasingly complete. His rule created the conditions for the later Jōkyū campaign against the court and Yasutoki's promulgation of the Goseibai Shikimoku.
