Changes

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 Hidetada]]), 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.
