Amano Yasukage (天野 康景, 1537 – April 14, 1613) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period and early Edo period.[1] Who served the Tokugawa clan. He served as one of Ieyasu's three magistrates.
In 1565 he was named one of Mikawa's San-bugyô, or Three Commissioners (along with Honda Shigetsugu and Koriki Kiyonaga). Yasukage was known for his patience, Shigetsugu for his fortitude, and Kiyonaga for his leniency; In 1575 he assisted Okubo Tadayo in a well-known night raid on the Takeda army following the Battle of Mikatagahara.[2]
After Battle of Sekigahara, from 1600–1611, he was the head of Kōkokuji Castle (10,000 koku) in Suruga Province.[1]
