Amago Yoshihisa (尼子 義久, 1540 – October 14, 1610) was a daimyō (lord) of Izumo Province.
He was the eldest son of Haruhisa and he was given the childhood name of Saburōshirō (三郎四郎).[1] After his father's sudden death in 1560, he became the head of the clan to continue the fight against the Mōri clan.[1] While besieged in Gassantoda Castle, Yoshihisa had a retainer, Uyama Hisakane executed after fearing betrayal. This caused most of his remaining troops to desert and on 1566, he surrendered to Mōri Motonari.[1] Yoshihisa was permitted to become a monk and was held captive at Enmeiji.[1] As a monk, Yoshihisa changed his name to Yurin (友林).[1] After Mōri Terumoto became the head of Mōri clan, he became a retainer under Terumoto.[1]
