{{Japanese name|Satake}}{{nihongo|Satake Yoshishige|佐竹 義重||March 7, 1547 – May 19, 1612}} was a Japanese daimyō of the Sengoku period. He was the 18th generation head of the Satake clan. He was renowned for his ferocity in battle; he was also known by the nickname of {{nihongo|"Ogre Yoshishige"|鬼義重|Oni Yoshishige}}. He often fought against the Later Hōjō clan, who were extending their power into southern Hitachi.[1] One such encounter was the Battle of Numajiri, where 20,000 men under Yoshishige fought 80,000 Hojo troops.[1] The Satake won, due in part to the use of over 8600 matchlock rifles by their troops.[1]Notes1. ^1 2 {{ja icon}} "Satake-shi" on Harimaya.com (accessed 15 August 2008)
