Ashikaga Yoshiteru (Jp. 足利 義輝; March 31, 1536–June 17, 1565) was the 13th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate who reigned from 1546 to 1565 during the late Muromachi period of Japan. He was the eldest son of the 12th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu. His mother is a daughter of Konoe Taneie who would later be come to called Keijuin(慶寿院). His younger brother Ashikaga Yoshiaki became 15th shogun.

Coronation

After his father Yoshiharu was forced to retire in 1546 over a politic struggle with Hosokawa Harumoto, Yoshiteru became Seii Taishogun, albeit a puppet shogun just like his father. Yoshiteru was only 11 at the time and his coronation ceremony was held at Sakamoto of Omi Province outside Kyoto.
