Hōjō Yasutoki, 1183 to 14 July 1242, was the third shikken, or regent, of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan and the eldest son of the second shikken, Hōjō Yoshitoki. He led shogunate forces against the imperial court in the Jōkyū War of 1221, then set up the Rokuhara Tandai in Kyoto. After succeeding as shikken in 1224 he created the Hyōjō council system in 1225, and in 1232 he promulgated the Goseibai Shikimoku, the legal code of the shogunate. He was highly praised for impartial justice and was ordained a Buddhist monk shortly before his death in 1242.
