Yukinaga was a son of [[Miyoshi Nagayuki]]. He served the [[Hosokawa clan|Hosokawa]] and held land in [[Awa province]]. He supported [[Hosokawa Sumimoto]] and in [[1506]] led an army against [[Hosokawa Masamoto]] in [[Kyoto]]. Masamoto fled the capital and Yukinaga clashed inconclusivly with troops under [[Kozai Motonaga|Kôzai Motonaga]]. The following year Kôzai and [[Hosokawa Sumiyuki]] murdered Hosokawa Masamoto and drove Yukinaga from Kyoto. Yukinaga returned under the command of Sumimoto a month later and Sumiyuki committed suicide. In [[1508]] an [[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi]] army supporting the cause of [[Hosokawa Takakuni]] and [[Ashikaga Yoshitane]] marched on Kyoto and Yukinaga and Sumimoto fled to [[Shikoku]]. Yukinaga continued to support Sumimoto and managed to occupy Kyoto for a short time in [[1511]]. While Hosokawa Takakuni was able to regain the capital, Yukinaga and Sumimoto once again entered the city in [[1520]]. Takakuni was able, once again and with the assistance of the [[Rokkaku clan|Rokkaku]], to drive the Sumimoto faction from Kyoto. In the process Yukinaga was cornered and compelled to commit suicide.
