Yoshikatsu was the son of 6th shōgun Ashikaga Yoshinori with his concubine, Hino Shigeko (1411–1463).[1] His childhood name was Chiyachamaru (千也茶丸). Hino Tomiko, wife of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, at first was betrothed to Yoshikatsu.
In 1441, Shōgun Yoshinori was murdered at the age of 48 by Akamatsu Mitsusuke. Shortly afterwards, it was determined that his 8-year-old son, Yoshikatsu, would become the new shōgun.[2] Yoshikatsu is confirmed as shōgun the following year.[3] On August 16, 1443, Yoshikatsu died at the age of 9. Fond of horse riding, he was fatally injured in a fall from a horse. He had been shogun for only two years. His 8-year-old brother, Yoshinari, was then named shōgun.[4] Several years after he became shogun, Yoshinari changed his name to Yoshimasa, and he is better known by that name.[5]
