Kenshin Uesugi
Congratulations! You scored 60% Tactics, 70% Likeability, and 25% Ambition!
You are the famed "Dragon of Echigo." Kenshin Uesugi is one of the greatest military geniouses of all time. After your father died fighting enemy clansmen, you were sent away from age 7-14 to commit to study, your brother taking control of Echigo. Then, at 14, you were convinced to leave your studies and rebel against your brother, who had proven to be a very poor leader. You took control of the Nagao clan, and proceeded to conquer the rest of Echigo. Then, Shingen Takeda came, your nemesis, as you would call him. He took control over much of Shinano province, just bordering the edge of Echigo. Seeking to stop his ambitions, you rode against him, and so began a rivalry like no other. You would engage your nemesis 5 times at the famous site of Kawanakajima, a mountainous region in east Echigo. However, only the 4th battle would prove to be a serious, all-out battle. In this battle of battles, you devised an ingenious military tactic. A formation where the soldiers in the front would repeatedly switch places with the soldiers in the back, allowing your wearied troops some rest behind the lines and, at the same time, giving soldiers who hadn't seen any action yet a shot at the frontlines. The tactic worked, and, altough Shingen defeated you in the end, you forced him to suffer heavy casualties, including two of his best generals (one of which was his brother, Nobushige Takeda), and he was forced to withdraw. Unfortunately, you would lose control of the area to Shingen 3 years later at the 5th battle. You became a Buddhist monk, and became a devout follower, and some men would say "avatar," of Bishamonten, the god of war. You received fame and recognition throughout your life. The real Kenshin was a devout drinker, perhaps an alcoholic, but a brilliant tactician, and an avid follower of the teachings of Sun Tzu. And, although his rival, he respected Shingen, and the two were even known to give each other gifts from time to time. And, when Shingen died in battle at Mikatagahara, Kenshin is reported to have wept over the loss of such a worthy adversary. Then, Kenshin used this opportunity to attack Nobunaga Oda. He began a campaign against Nobunaga, and even defeated him in several battles. Until then, Kenshin had no desire for conquest, but, with Shingen and the Hojo gone, there was room for expansion, and Nobunaga was the target. He did manage to claim a few of Nobunaga's lands, and, that winter, started raising a large army to continue the assults against him. However, it was not to be. Kenshin died later the next year. He suffered a seizure in a lavatory and died 4 days afterward. Upon hering of his death, Nobunaga said: "Now the empire is mine." Rightfully so, because now all of his greatest threats were now eliminated. So, although in the beginning, you lack ambition, you are still a force to be reckoned with, a leader of men, and a brilliant tactician.
