Struggle between the Ōgigayastu Uesugi clan and the Hōjō clan over the domination of Musashi province lasted for 23 years in the early part of the Sengoku period. Nanbata Zengin was a senior vassal of the Ōgigayastu Uesugi clan.
Zengin, as the general of the Uesugi clan, published an official bulletin board (Seisatsu) at Myōkokuji temple, Shinagawa Edo, in 1533. Then he served as a castellan of Matsuyama castle. He also facilitated a coalition against the Hōjō clan. Zengin was killed in the Kawagoe battle in 1546, and the Ōgigayastu Uesugi clan was ruined. Nanbata Yotarō became a retainer of the Hōjō clan afterwards.
