〔"Ashikaga Yoshimasa" in ''The New Encyclopaedia Britannica''. Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc., 15th edn., 1992, Vol. 1, p. 625.〕 was the 8th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate who reigned from 1449 to 1473 during the Muromachi period of Japan. Yoshimasa was the son of the sixth shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). 〕 His official wife was Hino Tomiko. On the August 16, 1443 (''Kakitsu 3, 21st day of the 7th month''), 10-year-old shogun Yoshikatsu died of injuries sustained in a fall from a horse. He had been shogun for only three years. Immediately, the ''bakufu'' elevated Yoshinari, the young shogun's even younger brother, to be the new shogun.〔Titsingh, ; Screech, Timon. (2006). ''Secret Memoirs of the Shoguns: Isaac Titsingh and Japan, 1779–1822,'' p. 234 n.10; n.b., Yoshikatsu (b. 1434 – d. 1443) = 8yrs. In this period, "children were considered one year old at birth and became two the following New Year's Day; and all people advanced a year that day, not on their actual birthday."〕 Several years after becoming shogun, Yoshinari changed his name to Yoshimasa, by which name he is better known.〔Titsingh, 〕 ==Shogunal succession== Significant events which shaped the period during which Yoshimasa was shogun: * 1443 – Southern Court supporters steal the Imperial regalia.〔Ackroyd, Joyce.
