Inaba Yoshimichi (稲葉良通? 1515–January 5, 1589), also known as Inaba Ittetsu (稲葉一鉄), was an officer under the Saitō clan and one of the famed "Mino Three" (along with Andō Morinari and Ujiie Bokuzen) during the Sengoku and Azuchi-Momoyama periods of the 16th century in Japan.
Yoshimichi was very gifted at the martial arts.[citation needed] After he defected to the Oda clan, he contributed greatly in many battles, such as the Battle of Anegawa, the Ishiyama Hongan-ji War and the Sieges of Nagashima. During the Incident at Honnō-ji, Yoshimichi sided with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
