Uesugi Shigeyoshi

Uesugi Shigeyoshi (died 28 January 1350) was a late Kamakura and Northern and Southern Courts era warrior and a cousin of Ashikaga Takauji, adopted into the Uesugi from a court-noble family. The Taiheiki says he forged an imperial order to push a hesitant Takauji into battle in 1335, and followed him to Kyushu.

An aide to Ashikaga Tadayoshi, he opposed Kō no Moronao and, after their 1349 showdown, was exiled to Echizen and killed early in 1350. His descendants became the Takuma Uesugi.
