Changes

Motokane was the son of [[Inoue Mitsukane|Inoue Kawachi no kami Mitsukane]] and the de facto head of a notable [[Aki province|Aki]] family that nominally served the [[Mori clan|Môri clan]]. He held Tenjinyama, which was just to the south of Motonari's [[Koriyama castle]]. As Motokane grew more powerful militarily and economically, he began to test the leadership of [[Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari]], whom he become openly critical of. In [[1550]] Motonari forced Motokane and many members of his household to commit suicide on the grounds of treasonous behavior, an act that secured the Môri as Aki's most powerful family. The Inoue were afterwards allowed to continue on as Môri retainers
