Kasahara Kiyoshige

Kasahara Kiyoshige (died 23 September 1547) was a Japanese commander of Shiga Castle in Shinano Province, during the country's Sengoku period. He commanded it until Takeda Singen, the head of the Takeda clan, seized it in September 1547, during his military campaign to control the province. After the castle's garrison was shown to have no relieving army, a fire started inside, which Kiyoshige died in.
