Yoriyuki, the son of the noted warrior-scholar [[Hosokawa Yoriharu]], was a loyal and talented supporter of the [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga]]. He served as the first Kanrei (Deputy/Vice-shôgun) and acted as guardian and counsel to [[Ashikaga Yoshimitsu]]. At the same time he expanded and consolidated the [[Hosikawa clan|Hosokawa]] influence over [[Awa province|Awa]] and [[Sanuki province|Sanuki]] on the island of Shikoku, provinces that would be Hosokawa bastions until the 16th Century.
