Ashikaga Yoshihide (足利 義栄?, 1564 – October 28, 1568) was the 14th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate who held nominal power for a few months in 1568 during the Muromachi period of Japan. When he became shogun, he changed his name to Yoshinaga, but he is more conventionally recognized today by the name Yoshihide.[1]
