In 1517 the most powerful lord of Aki province was arguably [[Takeda Motoshige]], lord of [[Aki Kanayama Castle|Kanayama Castle]].  A decade earlier, as a vassal of the [[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi]], he had accompanied [[Ouchi Yoshioki|Ôuchi Yoshioki]] to [[Kyoto]] as part of the latter's expedition there in support of deposed shôgun, [[Ashikaga Yoshitane]].  The connection of the Ôuchi and Takeda was not mutually agreeable, however.  In the last decade of the 15th century, the Ôuchi had taken advantage of disorder in the Takeda house to invade and force their submission.  When he was able to return to Aki, Motoshige gained the support of the Amako and now broke from the Ôuchi.
