Parents: Yoshioki, daimyo of Suo Province
Date of Birth: 18 December 1507
House: Öuchi
Predecessor: Yoshioki
Reign: 1528 – 1551
Brief: Before he ascended the throne, Yoshitaka worked with his father and the Amago clan to take control of Aki Province. After his father's death, he continued the campaign conquering northern Kyushu and then the territories of his former ally, Amago Clan. By 1541, Yoshitaka was the sole ruler of Aki Province as well as his own hereditary area of Suo. Discontented with his new status, Yoshitaka turned on Izumo and lost terribly. He gave up on campaigning and turned to the arts and culture, splitting his advisors into two camps: those who wished to continue the wars and those who were content like their lord. In 1551, the warmonger camp rebelled and captured the daimyo, forcing him to commit suicide. Yoshitaka's adopted son, Yoshinaga, was installed on the throne as a puppet for the conqueror, Sue Harukata.
