Momonoi Yoshitane

Momonoi Yoshitane (fl. thirteenth century), also recorded as Ashikaga Yoshitane, was a gokenin of the Kamakura shogunate and the posthumous son of Momonoi Yoshisuke. After his father fell in the Jōkyū War in 1221, he was enfeoffed with the family estate at Momonoi in Kōzuke Province, settled there and adopted Momonoi as his surname.

First known as Ashikaga Shirō, he later styled himself Momonoi Ōmi-no-kami and held junior fifth rank, lower grade. Genealogies name his sons as Yoriuji and Yorinao.
