was the 14th shà Âgun of the Ashikaga shogunate, who held nominal power for a few months in 1568 during the Muromachi period of Japan. He became shà Âgun three years after the death of his cousin, the 13th shà Âgun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.'
When Yoshihide became shà Âgun, he changed his name to Yoshinaga; however, today, he is more conventionally recognized by the name Yoshihide.
Shortly after having been proclaimed shà Âgun, Yoshihide died from a contagious disease. In the same month, Oda Nobunaga marched his armies into Kyoto, the capital, and seized control. Nobunaga installed Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the fifteenth shà Âgun.
The year in which Yoshihide was shogun is encompassed within a single era name or nengà Â.
