Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA
Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA was a warlord during the Sengoku period of Japan. He was the son of Yoshiteru ASHIKAGA, the 13th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate. Yoshiaki was a weak and indecisive ruler, and he was unable to control the powerful daimyo (feudal lords) of Japan. In 1573, Oda Nobunaga, a powerful daimyo, marched on Kyoto and captured the city. Yoshiaki was forced to abdicate as shogun, and Nobunaga became the new ruler of Japan. Yoshiaki was later killed by Nobunaga's forces.
