After the 9th shogun Ashikaga Yoshihisa died in 1489 of disease leaving no heir while on a campaign against Rokkaku Takayori[?] (Rokkaku Tobatsu), the daimyo of southern Omi[?] province, Yoshitane became Seii Taishogun a year later. In 1493, Yoshitane rose against Hosokawa Masamoto[?] and was replaced by the 11th shogun Ashikaga Yoshizumi.
Again in 1508, after the Battle of Funaokayama[?], with the support of Ouchi Yoshioki[?], Yoshitane regained the position of Seii Taishogun from Yoshizumi. However, finally after a power struggle with Hosokawa Takakuni[?], Yoshitane fled to Awaji Island[?] and died in Awa province on the island of Shikoku. Hosokawa Masamoto replaced Yoshitane with the 12th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu.
