* ''Died: [[1542]]''
* ''Distinction: [[Shinano province|Shinano]] warlord''
Yorishige was a son of [[Suwa Yoritaka]] and ruled the area about [[Lake Suwa]] in Shinano province. He joined with his neighbors (such as [[Murakami clan|Murakami]] and [[Ogasawara clan|Ogasawara]]) to clash with the [[Takeda clan (Kai)|Takeda of Kai]] on a number of occasions between [[1531]] and [[1542]], although a peace was made through his marriage to the elder sister of [[Takeda Shingen]]. In [[1542]] the Takeda made a sudden attack that caught Yorishige by surprise and brought down both [[Uehara]] and [[Kuwabara]] within two days. Yorishige was forced to commit suicide on 31 August 1542. His daughter was taken as a concubine by Shingen and produced the eventual head of the Takeda, [[Takeda Katsuyori|Takeda (Suwa) Katsuyori]].
