Kagemochi served [[Uesugi Kenshin]] and later [[Uesugi Kagekatsu]]. He held [[Masugata castle]] in northern [[Echigo province]]. He gained fame at the [[Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima|4th Battle of Kawanakajima]] ([[1561]]) for commanding the rear guard that attempted to hold off a [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] force under [[Kosaka Masanobu]] and [[Baba Nobufusa]] while the main Uesugi army attacked [[Takeda Shingen]] - a stand that earned him praise from friend and foe. He was later active in the war with the [[Oda clan|Oda]] and was still alive when the Uesugi were moved to [[Aizu province|Aizu]] after [[Sekigahara Campaign|Sekigahara]] ([[1600]]).
