Encyclopedia > Asahina Yasutomo

Asahina Yasutomo (朝比奈 泰朝, 1538 - ????) Yasutomo was an officer under the Imagawa clan. After the Imagawa was greatly defeated at the Battle of Okehazama, he was one of very few retainers who still standed strong with the Imagawa. When his new lord, Imagawa Ujizane, the son of Imagawa Yoshimoto, was about to lose his castle to the Takeda, due to his betrayal, Yasutomo surrendered the castle so that his lord's life would be spared.

Aoki - Ayukawa (6601 words)
The Asahina of Suruga Province were descended from Wada Yoshimori (1147-1213), whose 3rd son Yoshihide adopted the name Asahina.
The Asahina became especially important after the Imagawa defeat at Okehazama in 1560, for afterwards Imagawa Ujizane came to rely on them to maintain order within his domain.
Yasutomo ended up at Odawara Castle in Sagami Province and his eventual fate is unknown.
