Motonaga was the eldest son of [[Miyoshi Yukinaga]] and originally a retainer of the [[Hosokawa clan|Hosokawa]]. In [[1521]] he completed work on the [[Miyoshi clan|Miyoshi]] stronghold in [[Settsu province|Settsu]] at [[Saki]], which he named the 'Mandokoro'. He acted on behalf of [[Hosokawa Harumoto]] and [[Ashikaga Yoshitsuna]] in their bid for power and lodged them in [[Sakai]]. Motonaga and Harumoto soon grew hostile towards one another, and in [[1532]], with the help of the [[Ishiyama Hongan-Ji]], Harumoto suddenly attacked Motonaga at the [[Kenpon-Ji ]] in Sakai and forced him to commit suicide.
