Keiji later became a close friend and ally of Uesugi Kanetsugu, joining the Uesugi forces and participating in their military campaigns. Even after withdrawing from active military life to pursue arts and literature, he remained loyal to the Uesugi and returned to support them when needed.
His combination of warrior spirit, loyalty, and appreciation for culture has made Maeda Keiji a memorable figure in Japanese samurai history.
