* ''Born: [[1551]]?''
* ''Died: [[1573]]''
* ''Son: [[Miyoshi Nagamoto]]''
* ''Titles: Sakyô-daibu''
* ''Distinction: Lord of [[Awa province|Awa]] and [[Settsu province|Settsu]]''
Yoshitsugu was a son of [[Sogo Kazunari|Miyoshi (Sogo) Kazunari]] and the adopted son of [[Miyoshi Chokei|Miyoshi Nagayoshi (Chokei)]]. Adopted following the death of [[Miyoshi Yoshioki]], he became the head of the [[Miyoshi clan|Miyoshi]] in [[1564]]. He was initally allied to [[Matsunaga Hisahide]] and together they ordered the death of shôgun [[Ashikaga Yoshiteru]] in [[1565]], cooperating to nominate the young [[Ashikaga Yoshihide]]. Soon afterwards the Miyoshi and [[Matsunaga clan|Matsunaga]] began to argue, and then went to war. Yoshitsugu was powerful in Settsu province but steadily lost ground to [[Oda Nobunaga]], who entered [[Kyoto]] in [[1568]]. He fought against the [[Oda clan|Oda]] for the next five years, entering into a loose alliance with other enemies of the latter. Yoshitsugu was finally surrounded at [[Wakae Castle]] in 1573 and committed suicide.
Yoshitsugu established the [[Juko-in|Jukô-in]] in Kyoto in [[1566]], a temple that would later come to house the grave of [[Sen no Rikyu]].
