Uesugi Kenshin - The famed God of War and follower of Bishamonten, Uesugi Kenshin was a prime example of an honorable leader and warrior. Someone has already mentioned his "salt episode" with Shingen(the one who had cut off Shingen's salt was Hojo Ujiyasu.) He faced Takeda Shingen at the plains of Kawanakajima five times in their career, and only barely beat Shingen in the fourth battle, with the others all being stalemates. While other major clans like the Imagawa, Takeda and Asakura were all devestated or destroyed in their encounters with Oda Nobunaga, Kenshin for his part would trounce Nobunaga when they crossed armies at the Tedorigawa in Noto Province. However, Kenshin would succumb to illness soon after that victory, giving Nobunaga leeway for his conquest. It is said upon learning of Kenshin's death that Nobunaga said, I paraphrase, "And now, the land is mine."
