Ashikaga Yoshikazu (足利 義量; August 27, 1407 – March 17, 1425) was the fifth shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate who reigned from 1423 to 1425 during the Muromachi period of medieval Japan. Yoshikazu was the son of the fourth shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimochi. Yoshimochi ceded power to his son, and Yoshikazu became Sei-i Taishōgun at age 18, but he would die within two years. According to Oguri Hangan ichidaiki, Yoshikazu's death was hastened by a life of drunken dissipation. Read more on Wikipedia
