Yamana Yoshitada

Yamana Yoshitada (1337–c. 1408), second son of Yamana Tokiuji, was shugo of Mimasaka and Kii. He became shugo of Mimasaka in 1366 and in 1378 helped crush Hashimoto Shotoku's rising in Kii.

In 1391 his brother Ujikiyo and nephew Mitsuyuki rebelled against Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Meitoku War; Yoshitada gave only hesitant assent and never left Kii, yet after the defeat the shogun confiscated both his provinces.

In 1392 Ouchi Yoshihiro drove him to Yura harbour, where he took vows with seventeen kinsmen. Pardoned around 1406, he briefly served as shugo of Iwami.
