Yoshisuke was a son of [[Akamatsu Harumasa]]. He saw much of the former [[Akamatsu clan|Akamatsu]] domain slip out of his hands between [[1550]] and [[1570]], though he did capture [[Akashi castle]] in [[1554]] from [[Hosokawa Harumoto]]. He was defeated in [[1569]] by [[Kuroda Kanbei]] and within a few years had been so weakened that he lived in [[Himeji castle|Himeji]] at the sufferance of his nominal vassals, the [[Odera clan|Odera]] (Kuroda's lord). | Yoshisuke was a son of [[Akamatsu Harumasa]].
