He was victorious at the Battle of Uji in 1180.[1] He also became successful in the Battle of Yahagigawa in 1181.

Tomomori was again victorious in the naval Battle of Mizushima two years later.

At the Battle of Dan-no-ura, when the Taira were decisively beaten by their rivals,[2] Tomomori joined many of his fellow clan members in committing suicide. He tied an anchor to his feet and leapt into the sea.

Tomomori has become a popular subject for kabuki plays.
