Uesugi Norikata

Uesugi Norikata (1335–1394) was a Muromachi warrior, a son of Uesugi Noriaki, and the founder of the Yamanouchi Uesugi line. In 1376 his brother Yoshinori, dying, passed him the clan headship and the Izu shugo post, and in 1379 Norikata became Kantō kanrei to Ashikaga Ujimitsu.

During his term the kanrei's practice of issuing enforcement orders alongside the kubo's edicts became standard. He led campaigns against the 1380–1382 Oyama Yoshimasa revolt and founded Kamakura's Meigetsu-in temple. He died aged sixty.
