Uesugi Kenshin

Uesugi Kenshin(上杉謙信) (February 18, 1530 - April 19, 1578) was a warlord who ruled Echigo province in the Sengoku Period of Japan.

After Death

Uesugi Kenshin's death was disasterous for the clan. He never had any sons but adopted two different sons who would be his heirs. Unfortunately, upon their adopted father's death, the two immediately entered into a power struggle, which ended with Uesugi Kagekatsu being the clan's new ruler. However, the internal struggle had cost them too much time and energy, and Oda Nobunaga had no problem taking over the majority of their lands quickly, going right up to the border of Echigo.
