Kakizaki Kageie

Kakizaki Kageie (柿崎景家, 1513? – 1575) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period, who served the Uesugi clan of Echigo Province. He was one of the chief -- and most well known -- generals of Uesugi Kenshin.^[1]

He earned a reputation for being extremely ferocious warrior like Kato Kiyomasa, etc. He fought at 3 of the Battle of Kawanakajima against the Takeda and led the vanguard force for the Uesugi at the 4th battle. For some reason, Kenshin suspected Kageie of treason and ordered his death. Something that he would regret for the rest of his life.
