Shinno Yoshinari

Background

Yoshinari-shinnō was born in 1390 in Japan. He was a member of Imperial family and the son of Emperor Gomurakami.

Career

Yoshinari-shinnō succeeded Prince Kanenaga as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force that was raised to subdue the aborigines in Kyushu (1375). Later he destroyed Imagawa, chief of the Shogun's military police, and assumed great power (1377). His influence, however, soon waned when his allies Kikuchi, Aso and Gojo began to weaken and he could not restore it even after Emperor Gokameyama returned Kyoto from Yoshino (1392).
