Yukiyasu was a younger brother of Miyoshi Chokei and is perhaps better known as Jikkyû. He held a domain in Awa province on Shikoku and gave support to his elder brother Chokei, who was based in Settsu province. Yoshitaka was a capable figure but died under somewhat mysterious circumstances, leading many to suggest that the ambitious Matsunaga Hisahide had a hand in his demise.
