When in doubt, blame the Shogun. That's the Emperor's go to, can't go wrong slavishly aping the divine scion of the Heavens.
He who smelt it, dealt it.

Name: Uesugi Clan
Current Ruler: Uesugi no Yoshikado
Expected Heir: Uesugi no Yoritomo
Type of Government: Feudal Daimyo
Capital: Kasugayama Castle
War defines men. It writes upon them with a heavy brush, every stroke of victory and defeat indelible upon their soul. The conflict controls them, directs their action and reaction, shaping and forming the path of their legacy as they walk the way it lays out for them.
Uesugi no Yoshikado was not one of those men. Originally Uesugi no Saborou, he was never intended to inherit his father's seat and rule. Echigo Province had been the domain the family took through marriage with the Nagao clan when the Mongols invaded and the Uesugi power in Kanto was broken along with the shogunate, and Kasugayama stood in stern defiance to the barbarians, a legacy intended for his elder brothers. When fever took father and sons however, there was no choice but for young Saborou to step forward.
In his elevation to daimyo Yoshikado faced opposition from his uncles and cousins, opposition he crushed in the first fortnight of his rule. They expected weakness, indecision, but the daimyo disappointed on that count. With his power base secured and the beginnings of reform and improvement to the province's administration underway he turned his attention outward. Leading cavalry raids across the border in to Mongol controlled territory the young lord proved a ruthless warrior and incisive tactician. He remained undefeated, though one clash between his command and mounted bandits in the hills of Kai remained annoying close, with both sides withdrawing in good order, but with no decisive victor.
Uesugi no Yoshikado embodied war. There was none more devoted to Bishamonten than he, and whispers among the ranks spoke of strange lights from the daimyo's tent at night, times when the lord seemed to listen to words on the wind than no others could hear, and a few who had stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the throng of battle swore he fought with the ferocity of a god. Shrines dotted the lands under his command as he sought to elevate his appearance beyond that of merely a warlord, holding lands by force, but as a patron of the arts, culture, and spiritual matters (albeit one with a very particular taste in theme).

Hey.@Dovahsith Heyyyyyyy buddy.
You plan on conducting an actual battle or are you content to continue to run down stragglers?

Time and a place punk. You, me, few thousand mounted bad-asses on either side. Maybe a nice bottle of sake, hot stone massage, tender poetry and shamisen playing in the background?

We transplanted two totally heterosexual platonic life rivals from the Sengoku period back to this one because why not?
Here's a picture of them.

So I'm assuming you're both super lame because Yoshiteru isn't your enemy, right?
Because as far as enemies go, Yoshiteru is the best.

It's one of those dime a dozen genderbent Sengoku period shows.
It says something that this sentence is accurate but I'm not sure what it is.

There's a population density/wealth component to like Sid says. I haven't been able to make my map, but Echigo province is probably larger than most of your Kanto or Kansai provinces but has lower density and economic value vs the more central and important domains. Think the break between the North and the Reach or whatever.
