Amako Hisayuki

• Death: 1541
• Distinction: Amako retainer
• Title: Shimotsuke no kami
• Children: Amako Akiyuki

Hisayuki was the second son of Amako Kiyosada and a younger brother of Amako Tsunehisa. He helped Tsunehisa retake Gassan-Toda castle in 1486 and was afterwards a loyal and trustworthy follower. He fell out of favor with Tsunehisa's successor, Haruhisa, and endured being called a coward by the latter for advocating caution in all endeavors. He bore up to this humiliation and served Haruhisa in the attempt to take the Môri's Koriyama castle in 1540. He was killed in battle in the 1st month of the following year.
