Some historical sources treat MINAMOTO no Kunimoto (the governor of the Tosa Province) as the same person as MINAMOTO no Kunimoto (Kunimoto NOSE) mentioned above, but when we look at the names of the fathers and children of the two people and the historical periods they lived which are described in the "Azuma Kagami," and a description in the "Sonpi Bunmyaku," it becomes clear that Kunimoto, the governor of Tosa Province, was a different person from Kunimoto NOSE although both belonged to the Settsu Genji.
なお、上記の能勢国基と同一人物として扱われている場合があるが、『吾妻鏡』に見える父および子の名前や年代、そして『尊卑分脈』の記述から能勢国基とは、同じ摂津源氏ではあるが別人である。
