Shiga Yoshisato

Shiga Yoshisato (志賀 能郷) was a Japanese samurai lord of the Kamakura period. He was the founder of the Shiga clan, a branch of the Ōtomo clan. He was also known as Buzen Hachirō.

In 1223, his father Yoshinao died at the age of 51 and handed him over the position of governor (jitō), and the territory, of Kachigazuru, Buzen Province. The Ōtomo clan became an influential Shugo Daimyo family in northern Kyushu, further becoming Sengoku Daimyo during the Sengoku period. At its zenith, the Ōtomo clan ruled Buzen, Bungo, Chikugo, Hizen, Higo, and Chikuzen Provinces, as well as half of Hyūga and Iyo Provinces.
