Waga Motoyoshi

Waga Motoyoshi was a warrior of the Waga clan, the local lords of Waga district in Mutsu province; a later regional chronicle, the Ōnan rakuhōshū, styles him Satsuma no kami.

It records that in Kannō 3 (1352) the Northern Court shogun Ashikaga Takauji granted him three villages in the Yamamoto district of Dewa province, Yasumoto, Ajōji and Unjigarinosato. The Hondō clan of Semboku later traced its settlement in Dewa to this grant.
