Yoshida's birth father, Takeuchi Tsuna, was a samurai noble, and his mother was his mistress, possibly a geisha. He was adopted as a baby or small child by his father's friend, Yoshida Kenzo, also a samurai noble, and his wife. His adoptive father died in 1887, leaving Yoshida a wealthy but lonely boy.

He was educated for the diplomatic service and married into the emperor's circle of advisors. From 1907 to 1938 he was in Japan's diplomatic corps.
