* ''Death: [[1565]]''
* ''Distinction: [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]] warlord''
Yoshishige was a son of [[Kedo-In Shigetake]] and the 13th (or 14th) head of his family. He was heavily involved in the shifting alliances and feuds that surrounded the [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]] family in the early sengoku period, clashing with [[Shimazu Takahisa]] in [[1544]]. He is said to have been stabbed to death by his wife (who was from the Shimazu house) in a fit of jealous rage. While his wife was quickly dispatched by one of his pages, the [[Kedo-In clan|Kedo-In]] house came to an end. Yoshishige lands were absorbed by [[Iriki-In Shigetsugu]]. As the former Kedo-in retainers refused to follow Shigetsugu, Shimazu Takahisa took control of the area and later turned it over to [[Shimazu Toshihisa]].
