Yamana Toyokuni (山名 豊国, 1548 – 1626) was a Japanese samurai and commander of the Sengoku period. He was the head of the Inaba Yamana clan and Shugo of the Inaba.[1][2][3]

Tottori Castle

In 1574, Toyokuni allied with Amago Katsuhisa for an attempted invasion to capture Tajima and Inaba provinces. [1][4]

In 1581, his Tottori Castle was besieged by the Oda Nobunaga's army led Hashiba Hideyoshi.[3] After three months of the Siege, Toyokuni surrendered.[3] Thereafter, he became a masterless samurai for a while.[3]

In 1600, at the Battle of Sekigahara, he joined the Western army and after the battle he was given small territory in the Tajima Province by Tokugawa Ieyasu.[3][5][6]
