  Battles of Kawanakajima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battles of Kawanakajima (川中島の戦い) were fought in the Sengoku Period of Japan between Takeda Shingen of Kai province and Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo province in the plain of Kawanakajima, in the north of Shinano Province, very near the modern-day city of Nagano.
In the First Battle of Kawanakajima, in June of 1553, Takeda Shingen penetrated far into the Kawanakajima plain, his vangard encountering the forces of Uesugi Kenshin at a shrine to Hachiman.
The fourth battle resulted in greater casualties for both sides, as a percentage of total forces, than any other battle in the Sengoku Period, and is one of the most tactically interesting battles of the period as well.

 Takeda Katsuyori
Shingen avoided possible controversy by naming Katsuyori the head of the Suwa Clan (hence the 'Yôri' in his name); as Suwa Katsuyori he was removed from the Takeda family to a greater or lesser degree, and posed no threat to the heir, Takeda Yoshinobu.
He distinguished himself in battle against the Hôjô in 1569 and against the Tokugawa in 1572, demonstrating almost reckless bravery.
The majority of Katsuyori's troops abandoned him outright and the son of Shingen met his end at his own hand in the shadow of the Temmokuzan with his son Nobukatsu while his last few retainers, three Tsuchiya brothers, held the enemy at bay.

 Takeda - InformationBlast
After the rebel, Shingen invaded Shinano (Nagano province), and by getting Shinano, Shingen was included in one of the biggest daimyo in the sengoku period.
But after his death, Oda Nobunaga, the largest enemy for many years, annihilated Shingen after The Battle of Nagasino by killing Takeda Katsuyori, the fourth of Takeda Shingen.
Katsuyori effectively became the Takeda daimyo when his father died in 1573 and while he held an impressive record as a warrior prior to this, his defeat at Nagashino in 1575 doomed the clan.

 "Draw" Ending - www.ezboard.com
I have found the other 4 (Lose Big-lose at Iwadono Castle, Trapped In Kai-win Temmokuzan late, Truce (Japan split with the Mori, even if Oda is still around)-take too long to win the game after eliminating Tokugawa, and Victory-win Sekigahara).
Yes, if the player lose one or two kawanakajima battles, Uesugi will keep challenge Takeda at those fields.
Historically Shingen was not a reckless general who risked his men for no reason, and doing "no reloads" will show you why.

 Historical Battles - www.ezboard.com
While most of the 16 battles on the historical screen are handily beatable, Temmokuzan and Castle Iwadono (sp?) are a different story (no cavalry, 4-1 numbers disadvantage, lousy generals, and a majority of your troops commanded by losers who bolt at the first sign of trouble).
Is it actually possible to beat these on the historical screen, or are they there just to show how far the Takeda clan had fallen by the end (after all.
With some luck, it might be possible to win the battle but I didn't.

He directly contributed to the end of the Takeda clan by defeating Takeda Katsuyori in Temmokuzan.
The only thing Uesugi Kenshin is considered great or at least equal to Shingen is his ability for field battle.
And, to add comment about he live longer, don't worry, he is already great, unlike the heir of Imagawa family who live to a ripe old age and abusolutely useless...
