* ''Died: [[1553]]''
* ''Titles: Shinano no kami''
* ''Other names: Yarokurô''
* ''Distinction: Lord of [[Echigo province|Echigo]]''
* ''Sons: ''
Harukage succeeded his father [[Nago Tamekage|Tamekage]] as the governor of Echigo. He became involved in a civil war with a number of Echigo warlords who supported his younger brother [[Uesugi Kenshin|Kagetora]] (the future Uesugi Kenshin). He was reputedly a sickly and weak character who allowed himself to be influenced by his retainers. Following the defeat of his allies (including [[Kuroda Hietada]]), Harukage was replaced by Kagetora in [[1547]]. His fate is unclear - the popular view is that Harukage committed suicide, while another, somewhat more reliable, version has him being made to adopt Kagetora and name him the new lord.
