Yoshimichi was the second son of [[Onodera Terumichi]], a minor [[daimyo|daimyô]] of Dewa province. A long time rival of the [[Mogami clan|Mogami]], he held [[Omori castle|Ômori castle]] in Dewa's Ogachi district. In [[1594]] his old foe [[Mogami Yoshikaira]] is said to have deceived him into punishing one of his chief retainers and this damaged the unity of the Onodera retainer band. He resisted attempts by [[Otani Yoshitsugu|Ôtani Yoshitsugu]] to conduct land surveys in his domain and as a result was besieged at Ômori in [[1599]], holding out until winter forced Ôtani to retreat. During the [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara campaign]] he lent his support to [[Uesugi Kagekatsu]] and was afterwards deprived of his lands and exiled to the Chugoku region ([[1601]]).
