Yoshimune became the head of his family in [[1501]]. He was a rival of the [[Nagao clan|Nagao]] of [[Etchu province|Etchû]] and fought a number of battles with them, including [[Siege of Shinjo|Shinjô]] in 1520. In that instance, Yoshimune was defeated by [[Nagao Tamekage]] after setting out to attack the latter's [[Shinjô castle]]. With his army broken, Yoshimune committed suicide at Fukagamiyama. After his death, the leadership of the weakened [[Jinbo clan]] appears to have passed to his younger brother [[Jinbo Yoshiaki]], and then to Nagamoto, Yoshimune's son.
