Usui Sadamitsu

:"This is about the medieval legendary character; for modern characters, see Usui Sadamitsu (disambiguation)."
Nihongo|Usui Sadamitsu|碓井貞光| was a warrior of the mid-Heian period. His official name was Nihongo|Taira no Tadamichi|平忠通|.

According to Otogizōshi stories compiled several centuries later, Sadamitsu was a retainer of the Japanese legendary hero Minamoto no Raikō. Sadamitsu is known as one of The Four Guardian Kings under Raikō. Alternatively, in Konjaku Monogatari he is listed as one of three retainers to Raikō. Following the Tale of the Ground Spider within the tale of Raikō, Sadamitsu personally protected Raikō when he was suffering a mysterious ailment. Sadamitsu is also depicted in artwork and kabuki plays.
