uesugi tomooki

in 1524 , tomooki attempted to take the initiative in defending edo castle by marching his troops out to meet the hōjō army in battle .
however , his opponent circled around behind the sallying force , taking the castle with the help of Ōta suketada , the castle keeper who betrayed the uesugi to the hōjō .
tomooki also took part in the siege of arai in 1518 , and in the battle of ozawahara in 1530 .
tomooki was of the Ōgigayatsu branch of the uesugi family , not the more famous and powerful yamanouchi branch to which uesugi kenshin belonged .
