Uesugi Kenshin (上杉 謙信, 1530–1578), also known as Nagao Kenshin (長尾 謙信), was a daimyō (feudal lord) of the Sengoku period of Japanese history. He was the head of the Uesugi clan and ruled the Echigo Province (present-day Niigata Prefecture) from his base at Kasugayama Castle. Kenshin is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and capable warriors of the Sengoku period, known for his military prowess and strategic brilliance. He was also a devout Buddhist and was often referred to as the "Dragon of Echigo" (越後の龍, Echigo no Ryū) or the "God of War" (戦国の神, Sengoku no Kami). In Hebrew, his name can be translated as אווסוגי קנסין, and in Korean, it is known as 우에스기 겐신 (Uesugi Kenshin). Kenshin is particularly famous for his long-standing rivalry with the Takeda clan, especially their six battles against Takeda Shingen, which are collectively known as the Kawanakajima campaigns.
