Changes

Yoshioki was the eldest son of [[Ouchi Masahiro|Ôuchi Masahiro]] and ruled from Yamaguchi in Suo Province. He worked to increase the power of the [[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi]] and came into conflict with the [[Otomo clan|Ôtomo]] of [[Bungo province|Bungo]] (Kyushu) and the rising [[Amako clan|Amako]] of [[Izumo province|Izumo]]. In 1508 Yoshioki took up the cause of the deposed [[Shogun|shôgun]], [[Ashikaga Yoshitane]], and marched on [[Kyoto]], for which he was named kanrei. In [[1511]] he marched with [[Hosokawa Takakuni]] to defeat [[Hosokawa Masataka]] and [[Hosokawa Sumimoto]] at Funaokayama north of Kyoto. With the assistance of the [[Rokkaku clan|Rokkaku]] he returned some semblance of order to the capital, but was forced to return to Yamaguchi in 1518, both to thwart the ambitions of the Amako and to avoid an embarrassing financial scandal brought about by his own generosity. He clashed with [[Amako Tsunehisa]], and the two became known as great rivals, fighting campaigns in [[Aki province|Aki]] and Iwami Provinces. Yoshioki married a daughter to [[Otomo Yoshiaki|Ôtomo Yoshiaki]], and she would produce a future head of the Ôuchi, [[Ouchi Yoshinaga|Yoshinaga]]. He died of illness on 29 January 1529.
