, also known as
Yoshifushi or
Yoshifuji, was the
13th shogun of the
Ashikaga shogunate who reigned from 1546 to 1565 during the late
Muromachi period of
Japan. He was the eldest son of the 12th
shogun,
Ashikaga Yoshiharu; and his mother was a daughter of
Konoe Hisamichi (later called 慶寿院
Keijuin). When he became shogun in 1546 at age 11, Yoshiteru's name was Yoshifushi (sometimes translated as Yoshifuji); but some years later in 1554, he changed his name to the one by which he is conventionally known today. His younger brother
Ashikaga Yoshiaki would become the fifteenth shogun.
