Ujiyoshi is believed to have been the second son of [[Horiuchi Ujitora]], though one theory has that he was actually Ujitora's younger brother. Ujiyoshi was at first adopted into the [[Arima clan|Arima family]] but when Ujitora died without an heir, he returned to rule the [[Horiuchi clan]]. The Mô of western Honshu tried to win him to their side but he joined [[Oda Nobunaga]] instead and received an income of 20,000 koku as a result. After Nobunaga died, Ujiyoshi joined [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and fought at the [[Battle of Yamazaki]] ([[1582]]) and the [[Siege of Odawara]] ([[1590]]). He married a daughter of [[Kuki Yoshitaka|Kûki Yoshitaka]] and was convinced by Yoshitaka to side with [[Ishida Mitsunari]] during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]). After Mitsunari's defeat, Ujiyoshi was dispossessed and entered the custody of [[Kato Kiyomasa]]. He died at Kumamoto in [[Higo province]]. Like his father-in-law Yoshikata, Ujiyoshi was skilled in the command of naval forces. His son [[Horiuchi Ujihisa|Ujihisa]] would fight for Toyotomi Hideyori at [[Osaka Castle]] ([[1614]], [[1615]]) but was forgiven in the aftermath in light of his position as a personal escort to [[Sen-Hime]].
