Career
When Emperor Godaigo planned to destroy the Kamakura Shogunate (1324), he was among the warriors who plotted to attack the Shogunate office at Rokuhara in Kyoto during a festival of the Kitano Shrine. The plot was exposed through the betrayal of Yoriharu Funaki. The plotters' quarters were besieged by Shogunate troops. Yorikane committed suicide after resisting them.
