Kagekatsu Uesugi

Kagekatsu Uesugi is one of Kenshin's adopted sons and his successor. He's famous for allying himself with Mitsunari during the Sekigahara campaign.

Samurai Warriors
Kagekatsu is Kenshin's taciturn and earnest son in Samurai Warriors 2. He gladly follows his father's wishes Kenshin Uesugi, often ordered to look after the main camp. He becomes Kanetsugu's lord when he leads the Uesgui clan. His vassal often worries for his safety. In Kanetsugu's story mode, he is technically the leader of the anti-Tokugawa coalition during the siege of Edo Castle. In Kenshin's story mode, he defends the main camp. In Nobunaga and Nohime's story mode, he launches an ambush to attack the Oda main camp in the same stage. During Ieyasu's dream mode, he can be slain when he tries to assault the daimyo before Sekigahara.

Kessen
In Kessen, Kagekatsu appears as Mitsunari's friend. Often referred to as "Sugi", he leads a massive army to support the Toyotomi family. If Mitsunari does well in the game, the two men will meet for the campaign on Ieyasu's homeland, Edo. He will apologize for being mostly absent in his friend's previous campaigns, but he is quickly pardoned as Mitsunari thanks him for distracting Ieyasu's men at Aizu. Sugi volunteers to deal with Masamune's large and indecisive army, allowing the rest of the Toyotomi army to charge the Tokugawa forces.

Kagekatsu also assists his father's campaigns in Kessen III. He is designated as the clan's leader after his father's death and continues to oppose Nobunaga at any given opportunity. Kanetsugu often rides into battle to support him.

Saihai no Yukue
Kagekatsu is briefly mentioned by both armies at Sekigahara in Saihai no Yukue. In the Western Army, he is considered a headstrong yet valuable ally. For the Eastern Army, he is considered an outright nuisance who doesn't know his place.
