Yukimori was the second son of [[Yamanaka Mitsuyuki|Yamanaka Mikawa no kami Mitsuyuki]] ([[1519]]?-[[1546]]), whose wife was from the [[Tachihara clan]]. Known as Jinjirô in his youth, he took his first head at the age of 13 and became a valued Amako warrior, distinguishing himself in the attempts to relieve [[Shiga castle]], under siege by [[Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari]] in [[1564]]. Following the surrender of [[Toda clan|Gassan-Toda]] in early [[1566]], Yukimori kept up the fight and clashed with [[Kikkawa Motoharu]], the [[Mori clan|Môri's]] governor of the former Amako lands. He convinced [[Amako Katsuhisa]] to return to lay life and take up the Amako cause and the two joined [[Oda Nobunaga|Oda Nobunaga's]] campaign against the Môri in [[1577]]. In [[1578]] they took [[Kozuki castle]], which was allotted to them. Unfortunately, he Môri counter-attacked and forced the castle to surrender. Yukimori, to the surprise of many observers, entered Môri service but was murdered soon afterwards. He had been married to the eldest daughter of Amako retainer [[Kamei Hidetsuna]].
