''Died: [[1352]]''

Ashikaga Tadayoshi was the loyal brother of [[Ashikaga Takauji]]. In [[1334]], he was sent by Takauji to serve prince Norinaga (Governor of [[Kozuke province|Kozuke Province]]) as a guardian. He helped Takauji gain power and worked heavily on civil administration, while Takauji worked on military strategy and personnel. This division of responsibility eventually caused a conflict of interest between the brothers - Takauji favoring the military men, and Tadayoshi favoring the Bakufu courts and capital elite. Takauji dismissed Tadayoshi in [[1349]], and in the winter of [[1351]]-[[1352|52]], Tadayoshi was captured and killed, possibly by poisoning on Takauji's order.
