Ashikaga Mochiuji (足利持氏, 1398-1439) a member of the Ashikaga Shogunate, and the fourth Kantō Kanrei during the Sengoku period (15th century) of Japan. Following the year of 1432, Mochiuji was accused of rather rebellious activities, in which he was to be destroyed through the orders of Ashikaga Yoshinori. Before this certain event took place however, one such chief adviser serving under Mochiuji, Uesugi Zenshu, who was forced to be rebuked and to later resign would organize a rebellion against Mochiuji. Zenshu organized this certain rebellion by receiving aid from very daimyos situated within the northern and eastern provinces. Through this support, Zenshu ended up taking Mochiuji's Kamakura, in which he of course fled afterwards. Zenshu once again continued to act his rebellion against Mochiuji even to the extent of the Ashikaga Shogunate to defend Mochiuji by sending their own troops to stop him. After all of this took place, Mochiuji unleashed his anger by attacking the allies of Zenshu, which included families such as that of the Oda clan and the Takeda family (along with a few noble families situated within Musashi province). The Ashikaga themselves thought Mochiuji's actions to be too much following the year of 1523, which led up to Yoshinori to issue an order to destroy Mochiuji in 1432. This led to Mochiuji and Yoshinori to battle it out at the Eikyo Rebellion during the year of 1438. In the end however, Yoshinori successfully put an end to Mochiuji during the year of 1439. (more)
