* ''Birth: [[1454]]
* ''Death: [[1546]]
* ''Title: Yamashiro no kami
* ''Distinction: [[Shoni clan|Shôni]] retainer
Iekane was the 5th son of [[Ryuzoji Yasuie|Ryûzôji Yasuie]] and succeeded to the head of his family by dint of outliving his elder brothers. He defeated the [[Ouchi clan|Oûchi]] in [[1506]] following their own defeat of [[Shoni Masauke|Shôni Masauke]] (in which the latter was killed) and again at the [[Battle of Chikugogawa|battle of Chikugogawa]] in [[1530]]. He gradually drew away from the Shôni and grew in power within [[Hizen province|Hizen]], although he had long since officially retired. However, in [[1544]] another Shôni retainer, [[Baba Yorichika]], concerned by Iekane's power, sprung a trap on Iekane. Although Iekane lost many members of his family in Yorichika's attack, he escaped to [[Chikugo province]] and took up with [[Kamachi Akimori]], lord of [[Yanagawa castle]]. Although Iekane was by then nearly 90, he led an army back into Hizen the following year and defeated and killed Baba. He died on 10 April [[1546]].
