Hino Tomiko (日野 富子?, 1440 – June 30, 1496) was the official wife of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the 8th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate, and the mother of Ashikaga Yoshihisa, the 9th shogun. She sought the help of Yamana Sōzen in support of her son's claim to the shogunate, and in opposition to the claim of Yoshimasa's younger brother, Ashikaga Yoshimi. Her efforts in this succession dispute are seen as one of the causes of the Ōnin War.[1]
In popular culture
She has been the subject of novels by Ryōtarō Shiba and Michiko Nagai.
Hino Tomiko was a central character in the NHK Taiga drama Hana no Ran.[2]
