Uesugi Kenshin

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

He was one of the many powerful lords of the Sengoku period. He is famed for his prowess on the battlefield, the legendary rivalry with Takeda Shingen, his military expertise, strategy and his belief in the god of war - Bishamonten. In fact, many of his followers and others believed him to be the avatar of Bishamonten, and called Kenshin god of militaries.

His original name was Nagao Kagetora. He changed his name to Uesugi Masatora when he inherited the Uesugi family name in order to accept the official title of Kantou Kanrei. Later he changed his name again to Uesugi Terutora to honor the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and finally to Kenshin after he became a Buddhist monk; in particular, he would become renowned for being a devotee of Bishamonten. For the majority of this description, the name of Kenshin will be used.

Kenshin is sometimes referred to as "The Dragon of Echigo" because of his fearsome skills in the martial arts displayed on the battlefield. His rival Takeda Shingen was called "The Tiger of Kai". In Chinese mythology, (Shingen and Kenshin had always been interested in Chinese culture, especially the works of Sun Tzu) the Dragon and Tiger have always been bitter rivals who try to defeat one another, but neither is ever able to gain the upper hand.
