Mōri Okimoto (毛利興元, 1492 – September 21, 1515) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period, who ruled the Mōri clan. He was known for a distinctive green cape he wore over his armor, a gift from a Chinese envoy who had been shipwrecked in Tosa Province in 1509.[1] He was older brother of Mōri Motonari.
