Japanese: 明治には、劇作家の坪内逍遥が史劇『桐一葉』において忠臣としての且元を描き、歴史学においても忠・不忠の視点で論じられた。
English: With the growth of empirical research after World War II, Shosaku TAKAGI pointed out in 1976 that Katsumoto was both the chief retainer of the TOYOTOMI and one of TOKUGAWA's national bugyo, and that is important to study the political situation around the time of the Battle of Sekigahara.
Japanese: 戦後に実証的研究が行われるようになると、昭和51年（1976年）に高木昭作は且元が豊臣家の家老でありつつも徳川方の国奉行であることに着目し、関ヶ原の合戦前後の政治状況を考察する際にも注目される。

Japanese: 永禄7年（1564年）、父の政景が死去し、春日山城に入って叔父の上杉輝虎（謙信）の養子となった。
English: Thereafter, Kagekatsu played a key role under Kenshin's administration; he acted as a mediator between Yasutane SHIINA, an official of the Ecchu domain, and Kenshin; he also assigned military duties to Suketaka YOSHIE, a direct retainer of Kenshin.
Japanese: 景勝は、越中の将椎名康胤の取成や謙信旗本の吉江資堅の軍役を定めるなど、謙信政権下で重要な役割を担っていく。
English: In 1575, he changed his name from Akikage NAGAO to Kagekatsu UESUGI (or Kagekatsu NAGAO, according to another view) and inherited the rank of Danjo-Shohitsu (junior assistant President of the Board of Censors) from Kenshin.
Japanese: 天正3年（1575年）、名を長尾顕景から上杉景勝（一説では長尾景勝）に改めると共に、謙信から弾正少弼の位を譲られた。
English: After the death of Kenshin in 1578, a dispute over the line of succession broke out--Kagetora UESUGI, who was Kenshin's adopted son sent from the Hojo clan as a hostage and was Kagekatsu's elder (or younger) brother (the Otate Disturbance).
Japanese: 天正6年（1578年）、謙信が死去すると、北条家からの人質として送られてきた謙信の養子で義兄（または義弟）上杉景虎との相続争いが勃発する（御館の乱）。
English: There appears to have been a series of complicated circumstances underlying this dispute; such as Kenshin's sudden death before the completion of arrangements for the succession, as well as struggles for power which continued for generations mainly among the Nagao families in Echigo.
Japanese: これは謙信が後継体制を整えないうちに急死してしまったことや、越後の長尾諸家を中心とした、何代にも渡る権力争いなどの複雑な事情が背後に絡んでいるとされる。
English: In the Otate Disturbance, Kagekatsu occupied the donjon and treasure-house of Kasugayama Castle immediately after Kenshin's death on the false premise that it was bequeathed to him by Kenshin, and then he fought against Kagetora, who holed up in Otate (the residence of Norimasa UESUGI) located outside the walls of Kasugayama Castle.
Japanese: 御館の乱において、景勝は謙信の死の直後に謙信の遺言と詐称して春日山城本丸と金蔵を占拠し、春日山城城下の御館（上杉憲政の屋敷）に立て籠もった景虎と戦った。
English: During the Otate Disturbance, Kekeiin, who was Kagetora's wife and Kagekatsu's elder (or younger) sister, refused Kagekatsu's order for surrender and killed herself. Norimasa, Kagetora's adoptive grandfather, attempting to make overtures for peace was killed by a Kagekatsu soldier along with Domanmaru UESUGI, Kagetora's eldest son (alternative accounts have them surviving after receiving shelter from the Ichikawa clan, a powerful clan in Shinano Province).
Japanese: 乱中において、景虎正室である実姉（妹）華渓院は景勝の降伏命令を拒んで自害、和議を申し出ようとした養祖父の憲政が景虎の嫡男上杉道満丸（信濃国豪族市川氏に庇護され、生存していた説あり）とともに景勝の兵によって討たれるなど、
English: In addition, Kagekatsu made contact with Katsuyori TAKEDA in Kai Province, who dispatched an expedition force to Echigo for the purpose of mediation in accordance with the Koso Alliance (an alliance between the Takeda clan in Kai Province and the Hojo clan in Sagami Province) at the early stage of the Disturbance where the tide of the Disturbance was against Kagekatsu's side.
Japanese: また、乱においては当初、戦局は不利であったため、甲相同盟に基づき調停のため越後へ出兵した甲斐国の武田勝頼に接触し、
English: Then, Kagekatsu took Kikuhime (Daigiin), Katsuyori's half sister by a different mother, as his lawful wife in December and concluded the Koetsu Alliance (an alliance between the Takeda clan in Kai Province and the Uesugi clan in Echigo Province), so that the relationship with the Takeda clan would be strengthened.
Japanese: 同年12月に勝頼の異母妹菊姫(大儀院)を正室に迎えて甲越同盟を結び、武田家との関係を強化した
English: In the following year, 1580, Kagekatsu caused powerful clans in Echigo to follow him and became the de facto head of the Uesugi family.
Japanese: 翌年天正8年（1580年）には越後の豪族も追従し、景勝は事実上の上杉家当主となった。
English: In 1581, amid the disorder caused by the Otate Disturbance, the issue of rewards for the feats in the Disturbance caused Shigeie SHIBATA, who resided in northern Echigo and was confronted with the Uesugi family, to come to be in touch with Nobunaga ODA and rebel against the Uesugi family.
Japanese: 御館の乱の混乱が続く天正9年（1581年）、乱の恩賞問題により対立状態にあった北越後の新発田重家が織田信長と通じて造反した。
English: In 1582, when the Oda forces's complete seizure of the Ecchu made the Uesugi family in a difficult situation, Nobunaga ODA committed suicide at Honnoji Temple (the Honnoji Incident) on June 2, as a result, the Oda expeditionary forces had to renounce aggression, allowing the Uesugi family to survive narrowly.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）、侵攻する織田軍は越中を完全に制圧し、上杉家はまさに窮地に立たされるが、6月2日、織田信長が本能寺にて自害したため（本能寺の変）織田軍の北征は頓挫し、上杉家は九死に一生を得た。
English: Nevertheless, the prolonged disorder after the Otate Disturbance along with the invasion by the Oda forces, made it impossible for the Uesugi family to pacify the situation by themselves, this resulted in Uesugi's provincial power, which had expanded over the course of Kenshin's lifetime, and the Uesugi family's prestige to decline markedly.
Japanese: しかし、織田氏の侵攻に加え、御館の乱後の混乱が長期化し、自力のみによる沈静化ができなくなったことから、謙信が一代で拡大した上杉氏の国力は著しく衰退し、上杉家の力は急激に凋落の一途を辿った。
English: In addition, he temporarily subordinated Masayuki SANADA to him.
Japanese: また、天正13年（1585年）には真田昌幸を一時的に従属下に置いた。
English: To survive after the rise of Hideyoshi HASHIBA (Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI) following Nobunaga's death, Kagekatsu had Yoshizane HATAKEYAMA (he had assumed the name of Yoshizane UESUGI at that time), Kagetora's adopted son and nephew, taken by Hideyoshi as a hostage in June 1586, and rendered homage and service to Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 信長の死後に台頭した羽柴秀吉（豊臣秀吉）に天正14年（1586年）6月、秀吉に養子であった甥の畠山義真（当時は上杉義真）を人質として差し出し、臣従して命脈を保った。
English: At that time, he surrendered the fief of Ecchu and Kozuke (the surrendering of Kozuke resulted in the Sanada clan becoming independent to act as a feudal lord), and he was permitted to occupy Sado and Dewa instead.
Japanese: その際に、越中と上野（真田氏の大名としての独立）の領有を放棄、換わりに佐渡・出羽の切り取りを許可される。
English: In the Battle of Shizugatake, which occurred in 1583, Kagekatsu took the side of Hideyoshi and was ordered to invade Ecchu.

Japanese: 天正20年（1592年）の6月6日から9月8日まで、家臣の高梨頼親らを伴って秀吉の文禄・慶長の役に参加し、渡鮮する。

Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）、秀吉の命により会津120万石に加増移封された。
English: Among his former fief, he was only allowed to continue to govern the whole Sado Province, a small part of Echigo (Higashikanbara) and Shonai Region in Dewa Province, of which Shigenaga HONJO had deprived Yoshiaki MOGAMI after a fierce scramble.
Japanese: 旧領地から引き続き統治が認められたのは、佐渡一国及び越後のごく一部（東蒲原）と本庄繁長が最上義光と激しい争奪戦をして奪った出羽国庄内地方のみで、
English: Besides the above, he was allowed to govern Okitama Region in Dewa, and Date-gun, Shinobu-gun and Katta-gun in Mutsu Province, all of these had been the fief of the Date clan in the Sengoku Period (Period of Warring States), as well as the Aizu Region which had been conquered by Masamune DATE.
Japanese: 後は戦国時代_(日本)伊達氏の領地だった出羽置賜地方、陸奥国伊達郡、信夫郡、刈田郡と伊達政宗が征服した会津地方であった。
English: Each of the above areas were isolated from one another by mountains, and is, even now they are only connected to one another by trecherous mountain passes.
Japanese: また、各地は山地で隔絶され、現在でも交通の難所と呼ばれる峠道で結ばれているだけであった。
English: Thus, Kagekatsu was stationed there to monitor and check feudal lords in Tohoku in place of the Gamo clan, which had forfeited the fief located there.
Japanese: 改易された蒲生氏に代わり東北諸大名の監視と牽制のための配置であった。
English: Kagekatsu stationed Kanetsugu NAOE at Yonezawa Castle to play a pivotal role with 300 thousand koku (including foot soldiers; in this connection, some say that the yield of Naoe's fief was 60 thousand koku) to Kanetsugu; he was also to supervise Kagetsugu AMAKASU stationed at Shiraishi Castle located at the forefront against the Date clan, Shigenaga HONJO stationed at Fukushima Castle, Nagayoshi SUDA stationed at Yanagawa Castle and Yoshihide SHIDA stationed at Tozenji Castle.
Japanese: 景勝は要となる米沢城に直江兼続に30万石（与力を含む、直江本領は6万石との説あり）を与えて配置させ、対伊達氏最前線の白石城の甘糟景継、福島城の本庄繁長、梁川城の須田長義、東禅寺城の志田義秀を指揮させた。
English: After the death of Hideyoshi in August 1598, Kagekatsu, one of the Gobugyo (Five Major Magistrates), opposed Ieyasu TOKUGAWA due to various circumstances, such as the intimacy of Mitsunari ISHIDA with Kanetsugu NAOE, a principal retainer of Kagekatsu.
Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）8月、秀吉が死去すると、家老の直江兼続が五奉行の石田三成と懇意にあった事などの経緯から徳川家康と対立する。
English: In February 1600, Kagekatsu ordered that the castles in his fief be repaired by the summer of the same year.
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）2月になると、景勝は夏までに領内諸城の補修を命ずる。
English: In March, he anticipated that Wakamatsu Castle would become cramped in the future and ordered that a new castle be constructed at Kozashi, positioned roughly in the center of Aizu Basin.
Japanese: 3月になると若松城が将来手狭になると考え、会津盆地のほぼ中央に位置する神指に新城の建築を命ずる。
English: In April, Ieyasu issued a recall order so that Kagekatsu would go up to Kyoto to give an explanation for the repair of the castles in his fief, but Kagekatsu refused this order.
Japanese: 4月、家康から上洛して領内諸城改修の申し開きをするように召還命令が出るがこれを拒否する。
English: At that time, Kanetsugu NAOE wrote a sensational reply (the Naoe Letter), which incited Ieyasu to subjugate Aizu.
Japanese: この際、直江兼続による挑発的な返答が、家康の会津征伐を煽ったとされる（直江状）。
English: Kagekatsu ordered that Kozashi Castle be constructed as quickly as possible, but suspended the construction in June to respond to Ieyasu's forces.
Japanese: 景勝は神指城の突貫工事を命ずるが、6月になると普請を中断して家康軍の対応にあたる。
English: In July, Mitsunari, among others, took up arms (the Battle of Sekigahara) during the absence of Ieyasu, who had gone on an expedition, and as Ieyasu decided to go westward, Kagekatsu dispatched expeditionary forces from Aizu.
Japanese: 7月、討伐に向かった家康の留守中に三成らが挙兵（関ヶ原の戦い）し、家康が西上するとなると会津から出兵。
English: However, Kagekatsu was forced to surrender to Ieyasu in December, because the West squad including Mitsunari was defeated in the final battle on September 15.
Japanese: しかし、9月15日の本戦で三成ら西軍が敗れたため、12月に家康に降伏することを余儀なくされた。
English: In 1601, Kagekatsu travelled to Kyoto with Kanetsugu NAOE to apologize to Ieyasu, as well as had Kikuhime, his wife, taken by Ieyasu as a hostage; this allowed for the survival of the Uesugi clan.
Japanese: 慶長6年（1601年）、直江兼続と共に上洛して家康に謝罪し、また正室菊姫を人質として家康へ差し出したことにより、上杉氏の存続は許された。
English: All of the fiefs under Kagekatu's direct control were forfeited and the only three fiefs such as in Okitama Region, Shinobu-gun and Date-gun remained in Kanetsugu's direct control.
Japanese: 景勝直轄の所領は尽く没収され、唯一安堵された兼続直轄の所領は置賜地方、信夫郡、伊達郡であった。
English: Thus, he was transferred to the Yonezawa domain (consisting of the above three areas and yielding 300 thousand koku) in Dewa Province as the lord of a smaller fief in which led to the fall of the Uesugi family from the powerful Daidaimyo (a feudal lord having a greater power) in Shinetsu down to one feudal lord of half of Dewa Province over the course of Kagekatsu's lifetime.
Japanese: この3郡からなる出羽国米沢藩30万石藩主として減移封され、景勝一代において上杉家は信越の強大な大大名から出羽半国の一大名へと没落した。
English: In the 1614 Winter Siege of Osaka, Kagekatsu took Tokugawa's side and served successfully as a vanguard in the Battle of Kamono, among other times.
Japanese: 慶長19年（1614年）からの大坂の役大坂冬の陣では徳川方について先鋒として鴫野の戦いなどで大功を挙げる。
English: In the 1615 Summer Siege of Osaka, he kept watch over Kyoto.
Japanese: 翌慶長20年（1615年）、大坂夏の陣大坂夏の陣では京都警備を担当する。
English: Grave sites: Kagekatsu's remains were laid at Shojoshin-in Temple, Mt. Koyasan, located in Koya Town, Wakayama Prefecture while his ashes and court dress and crown were kept at the mausoleum of the Uesugi family located in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture.
Japanese: 墓所：遺骨は和歌山県高野町の高野山清浄心院、遺灰と衣冠は山形県米沢市の御廟の上杉家御廟所に、それぞれ納められている。
English: It is said that Kagekatsu respected Kenshin, his adoptive father, as a Sengoku Busho (Military Commnader in the Warring States Period), and had a strong inferiority complex regarding Kenshin.
Japanese: 養父の謙信を戦国武将として尊敬していたといわれる景勝は、それゆえに自分は謙信に及ばないとの想いが強く、
English: It is also said that he always acted in the hope of being a match for Kenshin, and, therefore, rarely displayed his emotion.
Japanese: 常に謙信のようにありたいと考えて行動していたため、感情を表に出すことがほとんどなかったといわれる。
English: It has been told that on one occassion Kagekatsu saw his pet monkey sitting at his seat and imitating him (nodding and giving directions to his subordinates with a perfectly straight face), and he found this so amusing that he couldn't help but smile.
Japanese: ある時、飼っていた猿が景勝の座に座って、もっともらしくうなずいたり、部下に指図したりといった自分の物まねをしていたのを目にした景勝は、そのあまりの可笑しさに思わず笑みをこぼしたが、
English: He had prominent connoisseurship, and the collection of swords selected from among those particularly striking his fancy, which is called '上杉景勝御手選三十五腰', includes many national treasures and important cultural properties.
Japanese: 卓越した鑑定眼を持ち、特に気に入ったものから選抜した「上杉景勝御手選三十五腰」と呼ばれるコレクションには国宝や重要文化財が多数含まれている。
English: Once, Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI invited each feudal lord to a banquet held at Fushimi Castle in Kyoto (or Osaka Castle), and Toshimasu MAEDA snuck into this banquet.
Japanese: ある時、豊臣秀吉が京都・伏見城（もしくは大坂城）に各大名を招き宴が開かれたが、この宴の会場に前田利益が紛れ込んでいた。
English: At the height of the banquet, Keijiro, wearing a monkey mask with a cloth wrapped over his head and cheeks and tied under his chin, started dancing in a comical manner with gestures at the seat farthest from the front while manipulating a fan.
Japanese: 宴もたけなわになった頃、慶次郎は末席から猿面をつけ手拭いで頬被りをし、扇を振りながら身振り手振り面白おかしく踊り出した。
English: He became so daring as to continue his monkey imitation on the laps of the feudal lords, but he was never censured because his behavior was so entertaining for all of the banquet attendees.
Japanese: ついには列席している大名達の膝の上に座っては猿真似をやるという暴挙にまで至ったが、大名達は宴の余興ゆえに咎める者も怒り出す者もいなかった。
English: When asked why not, Keijiro replied, "When I was in front of Kagekatsu, he looked so majestic that I could never sit on his lap."
Japanese: その理由について尋ねられた慶次郎は、「景勝の前に出ると威風凛然としていてどうしても座ることが出来なかった」と語ったという。
English: Also, based on the fact that Keijiro said later, "I would never rely on anyone else in all the world but lord Kagekatsu of Aizu to be my master," some say that Keijiro's behavior represents his respect for Kagekatsu, whom he trusted as the only just person.
Japanese: また「天下広しといえども、真に我が主と頼むは会津の景勝殿をおいて外にあるまい」と慶次郎が後に語ったということから、義を貫く人物は景勝をおいて他にはいないと見込んでの、慶次郎なりの敬意を示した行動だったともいわれている。
English: There are various views regarding relations with Kenshin UESUGI, Kagekatsu's uncle and adoptive father, ranging from Kagekatsu respecting and longing for Kenshin to one that such relations were tense.
Japanese: 叔父であり義父である上杉謙信との仲については諸説あり、尊敬、思慕の対象であったという見かたから、実は険悪であったという説まで様々である。
English: Some say that Kenshin's sudden death before the establishment of arrangements for the succession affected relations between them.
Japanese: これは謙信が後継体制を築く前に急死したことが影響しているともいわれる。
English: Another account states that Masakage, Kagekatsu's father, was confronted and assassinated by Kenshin.
Japanese: また父の政景が謙信と対立していたことから謙信による政景暗殺説が存在するが、
English: On the other hand, however, Kagekatsu assumed the Buddhist name of Soshin when he was ill in bed near the end of his life.
Japanese: しかしその一方、景勝は晩年病床に臥したとき、宗心という法名を名乗っている。
English: When Kagekatsu inherited the rank of Danjo-Shohitsu from Kenshin, some say that the two relevant letters were written in Kagekatsu's handwriting; that is to say Kagekatsu forged those letters in order to justify himself (The History of Niigata Prefecture, The History of Joetsu City: Complete History I: The Medieval Period).
Japanese: 景勝が弾正少弼を謙信から譲り受けた際の2通の書状が、景勝自身の筆跡と同じであるとし、景勝が自己を正当化する為、偽作したとの説（「新潟県史」「上越市史通史編2中世」）がある。
English: However, considering the fact that Kagetora UESUGI referred to Kagekatsu as the vice minister in his letter to Moriuji ASHINA, as shown in the statement, "Because the vice minister is uninteresting and strict, as I told you the other day,.....", it would be a safe assumption that Kagekatsu's government service was widely known in the Uesugi family.
Japanese: しかし、上杉景虎が蘆名盛氏にあてた書状には「先日申入れ候如く、少弼曲なきからいゆえ」と景勝を少弼と呼んでいる処をみると、景勝官途は上杉家中において、公の事実と見て間違いないであろう。
English: A war chronicle entitled Ouu Eikei Gunki contains a tale of Kagekatsu having extraordinary hatred for women, that he actively kept women away from him, and that he did not get along with his wife, Kikuhime (Daigiin); instead it has been told that he had an affinity for men, and often kept good-looking boys close to him.
Japanese: 「奥羽永慶軍記」には、景勝は大変な女嫌いで身辺に女を一切近づけず、また正室の菊姫(大儀院)と非常に不仲であると共に、極めて衆道を好み、身辺にはもっぱら美貌の少年達のみを侍らせていたという話がある。
English: However, the credibility of this book is problematic because it contains statements and documentation obviously inconsistent with historical facts; some of these inconsistencies follow: Keigannin, Kagekatsu's concubine, was a descendent of a prostitute; Kanetsugu NAOE forced this prostitute to disguise herself as a man and introduced her to Kagekatsu so that she would bear an heir to Kagekatsu; she bore Sadakatsu, but she incurred Kagekatsu's anger because he found out that she was a woman; this woman was disappointed by the loss of Kagekatsu's favor and killed herself; her suicide caused Sadakatsu to harbor ill will against Kanetsugu, and he killed Kanetsugu in person.
Japanese: しかし、この書物には側室の桂岩院の出自を遊女とし、直江兼続が世継ぎを生ませる為、この遊女を男装させて景勝に引き合わせて定勝を生ませたが、この女は自分が女だと景勝に知られて怒りを買い、その寵愛を失ったことを悲観して自殺したとし、それを恨みとした定勝が兼続を自らの手で殺害するという明らかに史実と異なる記述や考証がされており、信憑性には問題がある。
English: There is another view that Kagekatsu was not homosexual, which is based on the fact that Kagekatsu issued an order forbidding male homosexuality in 1612 ('Chronological Table of Mie').
Japanese: 景勝は慶長17年（1612年）8月に衆道禁止令を発布しており（「三重年表」）、これを根拠として男色家ではないとする説もある。
