[[Shibata Katsuie]] / [[Sasa Narimasa]] ([[Oda Nobunaga]]) vs. Takemata, Yoshie, ect. ([[Uesugi Kagekatsu]])  

Following the death of [[Uesugi Kenshin]] in [[1578]], the Uesugi domain had fallen into a year-long civil war (see [[Ôtate no ran]]). Taking advantage of the Uesugi's feud, Shibata Katsuie and Sasa Narimasa, Oda Nobunaga's spearheads in the [[Hokuriku]] Region, began a drive for the borders of [[Echigo Province|Echigo]] itself. By [[1581]] the Oda had taken [[Toyama Castle]] and were entrenched in [[Etchu Province]], which Shibata and Sasa set about clearing of both Uesugi and [[Ikko-Ikki]] resistance.
