Uesugi Kagetora

Uesugi Kagetora

(1552 - 1579) was the seventh son of Hōjō Ujiyasu; he was adopted by Uesugi Kenshin, and was meant to be Kenshin's heir. However, in 1578, he was attacked in his castle at Ōtate by Uesugi Kagekatsu--Kagetora's respective brother-in-law--and was subsequently defeated. Kagetora committed suicide the following year.

Uesugi Kagetora in fiction

A modern-day reincarnation of Kagetora also appears in the 2000 anime series, Mirage of Blaze. He is one of the two primary characters--members of the Uesugi Netherworld Force--responsible for exorcising undead soldiers from the Japanese Feudal Era, which are taking part in a modern-day war, led by reincarnations of various feudal era warlords, including the recently-released spirit of Takeda Shingen.
