Miyoshi Nagayoshi
Miyoshi Nagayoshi, eldest son of Miyoshi Motonaga, was a Japanese samurai and daimyō who was lord of the Miyoshi clan during the Sengoku period. Nagayoshi held the court titles of Shūri-dayū and Chikuzen no Kami, and was also known by the more Sinic reading of his name: Chōkei. During his tenure, the Miyoshi clan would experience a great rise of power, and engage in a protracted military campaign against its rivals, the Rokkaku and the Hosokawa.
Following his death, Nagayoshi was succeeded by his adopted son, Yoshitsugu. Nagayoshi died in Iimoriyama Castle in 1564.
