Kasahara Kiyoshige (died 23 September 1547) was a Japanese commander of Shiga Castle in Shinano Province, during the country's Sengoku period.
After the castle's garrison was shown to have no relieving army, a fire started inside, which Kiyoshige died in.
Soon, Usuegi's forces, led by Kanai Hidekage, crossed Usui Pass from Kozuke with 3,000 men.
Shingen had one part of his army continue the siege, while Itagaki Nobutaka and others would meet Usuegi's forces.
[5] Kiyoshige was depicted in the 1969 film Samurai Banners, where he was played by Ryūnosuke Tsukigata, and in the 2007 television series Fūrin Kazan.
