Ōno no Azumabito

Ōno no Azumabito (大野 東人) was a samurai and Court official of Japan's Nara period.

In 724, he fought alongside Fujiwara no Umakai against the Ebisu people of Mutsu province. Azumabito was later appointed to the Imperial positions of Chinjufu-shogun (Commander-in-chief of the Defense of the North) and Azechi (Inspector). He also aided in the suppression of the 740 revolt of Fujiwara no Hirotsugu ( the Dazai shoni of the Dazaifu on Kyushu). The rebellion ended with Fujiwara's defeat and death.
