Yasutane was the son of [[Shiina Yoshitane]]. He ruled his domain in Etchû province from [[Matsukura castle]]. He clashed with neighboring [[Jinbo Nagamoto]], lord of [[Toyama castle]], throughout the 1550's, briefly making peace in [[1554]] through the mediation of the [[Hatakeyama clan|Hatakeyama]] of [[Noto province]]. In [[1560]] Yasutane was able to secure the support of the [[Uesugi clan]], and in April [[Uesugi Kenshin]] brought down Toyama. The [[Jinbo clan|Jinbo]] and [[Shiina clan|Shiina]] continued to fight, and later Yasutane entered into an agreement with the [[Takeda clan (Kai)|Takeda of Kai]]. This provoked Kenshin, who in [[1575]] attacked and captured Matsukura. Yastutane petitioned Kenshin to return Matsukura to him but this did not occur. The Shiina thus became vassals of the Uesugi but did not survive the 1578-79 [[Otate no Ran|Ôtate no ran]].
