Yoshikazu was the son of the fourth shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimochi.[1]

Yoshimochi ceded power to his son, and Yoshikazu became Sei-i Taishōgun at age 18 by East Asian age reckoning,[2] but he would die within two years.[3] According to Oguri Hangan ichidaiki, Yoshikazu's death was hastened by a life of drunken dissipation.[4] His buddhist name was Chōtoku-in (長得院).

In 1423, Yoshikazu was appointed as shōgun. A year later, the Emperor Go-Kameyama dies. Yoshikazu would rule for a brief reign as he dies in 1425 and is succeeded by his father Yoshimochi that same year. When his father died in 1428, Go-Hanazono ascends the throne in second repudiation of agreement.[5] The sixth official shōgun became Ashikaga Yoshinori in 1429.[6]

Era of Yoshikazu's bakufu

The years in which Yoshikazu was shōgun are encompassed within a single era name or nengō.[7]
