Uesugi Shigeaki

Uesugi Shigeaki (dates unknown) was a Kamakura-period warrior, the legitimate son of Uesugi Yorishige. Known as Sakon-shōgen and Shuri-daibu, he served a lady in the court of Emperor Fushimi, who reigned from 1287 to 1298.

His sister Kiyoko was the mother of Ashikaga Takauji, so the first Muromachi shōgun was his nephew. One of his waka poems entered the Gyokuyō Wakashū, and he is counted the ancestor of the Ōgigayatsu Uesugi line.
