Oi Yukiyoshi

• Distinction:

Yukiyoshi was the son of Ôi Yukiyori and held Iwao castle in Shinano as a Takeda vassal. When the Oda and Tokugawa invaded the Takeda domain, Yukiyoshi's forces clashed with the Tokugawa's advance gaurd at Iwao and offered the latter their only serious resistance in Shinano. After some hard fighting, Yukiyoshi surrendered and retired from active life.
