The Ueno (上野氏) was an Iga family.
About[]
Record found so far is one of the Eleven Ninja, Ueno no Hidari (上野ノ左). There doesn't seem to be much else about him except where he lived, Ueno Village. Not even info on his ninjutsu. Hidari lived near Heirakuji, which would eventually become the Iga-Ueno Castle in the 17th century. The Ueno are called a dogō (土豪)[1] or a powerful local clan. May have existed since 14th century.
In Seishin[]
They appear in Seishin (Pure Heart) as an Iga and Koka alliance family, living near the base camp of Iga Sokoku Ikki, Heirakuji Temple (apparently Ueno west side)[2]. Thus, they are influential.
