Yoshinaga was a younger brother of [[Otomo Sorin|Ôtomo Sôrin]] and the son of one of [[Ouchi Yoshioki|Ôuchi Yoshioki's]] daughters. He was at first known as Haruhide, the 'haru' being presented by the [[Shogun|shôgun]] [[Ashikaga Yoshiharu]]. His name was later changed to Yoshinaga, in this case being awarded 'yoshi' from shôgun [[Ashikaga Yoshiteru]]. He was to be adopted into the [[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi family]] and in [[1544]] was presented to [[Ouchi Yoshitaka|Ôuchi Yoshikata]]. The following year, however, Yoshikata's son [[Ouchi Yoshihiro|Yoshihiro]] was born and so the planned adoption was called off. When [[Ouchi Yoshitaka|Oûchi Yoshitaka]] was overthrown in [[1551]], Sôrin and [[Sue Harukata]] agreed to make Yoshinaga the new lord of the Oûchi, though he acted as a puppet to Sue. Following [[Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari's]] victory at [[Battle of Miyajima|Miyajima]] in [[1555]] and death of Sue, Yoshinaga's position was steadily weakened until he was forced to commit suicide as Motonari marched against Yamaguchi in [[1557]].
