Yukishige served [[Akechi Mitsuhide]]. His connection, if any, to [[Araki Murashige]] is unknown, though there is speculation that he may have been a cousin of some sort. A native of [[Tamba province]], he entered the service of the Akechi around [[1577]] and was named as lord of [[Sonobe castle]] (in Tamba). At the time of Mitshude's rebellion against [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]] (June [[1582]]), Yukishige was in the company of [[Akechi Mitsuharu]]. He survived the Akechi defeat and afterwards became a retainer of [[Hosokawa Tadaoki]]. The course of his life, both before and after his service with the Akechi, is hazy at best. | Yukishige served [[Akechi Mitsuhide]].
