Shimazu Ujihisa was the head of the Ôshû branch of the [[Shimazu clan]], and ''[[shugo]]'' of [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]], at a time when the clan was split into his Ôshû branch, and his brother [[Shimazu Morohisa|Shimazu Morohisa's]] Sôshû branch. Both share the distinction of being the 6th head of the Shimazu clan, and the clan, split by their succession, was reunited after their death with Ujihisa's descendants continuing as the main trunk lineage.

The fourth son of [[Shimazu Sadahisa]], he fought on the side of the [[Ashikaga clan]] and the [[Northern Court]] in the Nanboku-chô conflict, as well as standing opposed to ''[[Kyushu tandai]]'' [[Imagawa Ryoshun|Imagawa Ryôshun]]. He became ''[[shugo]]'' of [[Osumi province|Ôsumi province]] in [[1363]], just as his elder brother Morohisa became lord of [[Satsuma province]], and head of the Sôshû branch of the family.

He died on [[1387]]/int.5/4, and was succeeded as head of the Shimazu by his son [[Shimazu Motohisa]].
