[[File:Yura-grave.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The grave of Oyura no kata at the [[Shimazu clan]] cemetery in [[Kagoshima]]]]
*''Death: [[1866]]''
*''Japanese'': お由羅の方 ''(O yura no kata)''
Yura, or Oyura no kata, was a concubine of [[Shimazu Narioki]], lord of [[Satsuma han]].
She is perhaps most famous for the succession dispute which erupted between factions supporting her son, [[Shimazu Hisamitsu]], and those supporting Narioki's eldest son by another woman, [[Shimazu Nariakira]], to succeed Narioki as lord of Satsuma. This so-called "''Oyura sôdô''" ended with Nariakira winning the succession; however, he was in turn succeeded by Hisamitsu's son [[Shimazu Tadayoshi]], during whose time Hisamitsu exercised considerable power as regent.
Yura is buried alongside Narioki in the [[Shimazu clan]] cemetery at [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]] in [[Kagoshima]].
