Ōtomo no Kanamura was a Japanese warrior and statesman during the late Kofun period.[1] Most of what is know of his life comes from the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki. His clan, the Ōtomo, had been highly influential at court since the time of his grandfather Ōtomo Muruya.[2][3]

According to these sources, Kanamura was instrumental in putting down the uprising of Heguri no Matori (平群馬鳥) and in raising Emperor Buretsu to the throne.[1][4] Buretsu, in gratitude, raised Kanamura to the position of Great Deity Chieftain (cheif minister at court).[5] He also oversaw the succession of Emperor Ketai, instead of the claimant Prince Yamatohiko, and selected Ketai's empress himself.[6][7][8] Kanamura embraced an agressive policy towards the kingdom of Silla (part of modern-day Korea), and advocated sending forces there; his own son Ōtomo no Satehiko led two expeditions against the Korean kingdoms.[9] This policy eventually led to his downfall, when in 540 the Emperor Kinme, under advice from the minister Mononobe no Okoshi, decided to refrain from direct military action against Silla. The Emperor also removed Kanamura from his position as chief minister as a result.[10][3]
