Satake Yoshiatsu

Satake Yoshiatsu (1311–1362) was the ninth head of the Satake clan of Hitachi Province and Sadayoshi's second son; he inherited because his elder brother was an illegitimate monk. When the Nanboku-chō war began he sided with Ashikaga Takauji, was appointed shugo of Hitachi, and after returning east led the Northern Court faction there.

In Kyōto from 1354 to 1357, he headed the Muromachi bakufu's Samurai-dokoro. In his last years he took Zen vows as Shunzan Jōki and founded Seion-ji in Naka district, and he died in 1362.
