* ''Birth: [[1495]]
* ''Death: [[1552]]
* ''Distinction: Warlord of [[Omi province|Ômi]]
Sadayori was the 2nd son of [[Rokkaku Takayori]]. As a youth he was sent to study at the Sôkokuji in Kyoto but returned to secular life after his elder brother was badly wounded in battle. He became lord of the [[Rokkaku clan|Rokkaku]] and resided at [[Kannonji castle]]. He aided [[Ouchi Yoshioki|Ôuchi Yoshioki]] during the latter's tenure as [[kanrei]] and fought under him against [[Hosokawa Sumimoto]] at the [[Battle of Funaokayama|battle of Funaokayama]] in [[1511]]. He later clashed with the emerging [[Asai clan|Asai family]] of northern Ômi. It is sometimes said that Sadayori was a forerunner of sorts to the later shirowari policy- that is, allowing only one castle per province. In Sadayori's case, he ordered the abandonment of Otowa Castle in [[1523]] following an internal dispute within the [[Gamo clan|Gamô house]]. This is thought to have been part of an effort to better control his retainers. He was at any rate a capable administrator and among his efforts was the stimulation of merchant activity at Kannoji. He died on 21 January 1552.
