Yamanaka Shikanosuke

Yamanaka Shikanosuke (Yamanaka Yukimori, died 1578) is the most celebrated of the Amago clan's vassals, a symbol of loyalty to a fallen house. After the fall of Gassan-Toda Castle in 1566, he devoted his life to restoring the Amago, supporting Amago Katsuhisa against the Mōri. In 1575, he took Wakasa Onigajō Castle in Inaba by stratagem, before having to abandon it under pressure from Kikkawa Motoharu. The restoration campaigns ended in 1578 with the death of Amago Katsuhisa at Kōzuki Castle. His statue stands at the foot of Gassan-Toda Castle, beside that of Amago Tsunehisa.
