Ashikaga Yoshitane

After the 9th shogun Ashikaga Yoshihisa died in 1489 of disease leaving no heir while on a campaign against Rokkaku Takayori (''Rokkaku Tobatsu''), the Daimyo of southern Omi province, Yoshitane became '' Seii Taishogun '' a year later. In 1493, Yoshitane rose against Hosokawa Masamoto and was replaced by the 11th shogun Ashikaga Yoshizumi .

Again in 1508, after the Battle Of Funaokayama , with the support of Ouchi Yoshioki , Yoshitane regained the position of ''Seii Taishogun'' from Yoshizumi. However, finally after a power struggle with Hosokawa Takakuni , Yoshitane fled to Awaji Island and died in Awa province on the Island of Shikoku . Hosokawa Masamoto replaced Yoshitane with the 12th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu .
