Ueno Yorikane

Ueno Yorikane (died 1351) was a Northern and Southern Courts period general of the Ueno clan, a cadet branch of the Ashikaga. In 1336, during Ashikaga Takauji's retreat to Kyushu, he led the attack on Kuroki Castle in Chikugo. As shugo of Iwami he repeatedly fought Southern Court forces.

During the Kannō Disturbance he sided with Ashikaga Tadayoshi, who made him shugo of Tajima and Tango in 1351. He followed Tadayoshi north and fell in battle that September.
