Many significant Japanese historical people of the Sengoku period appear in works of popular culture such as anime, manga, and video games. This article presents information on references to several historical people in such works. ==Akechi Mitsuhide== Akechi Mitsuhide is featured in various fictional works, mostly as a hero. *He is featured in Capcom's ''Onimusha'' as Samanosuke Akechi's uncle/relative, as well as ''Onimusha Tactics'', as a playable character. *Mitsuhide is also one of the playable characters in Koei's ''Samurai Warriors'' series. He wields a katana, obviously taking techniques from the sword school of Iaido, and is portrayed to have a very close relationship with Mori Ranmaru. He goes against Oda Nobunaga but lets him live in one story. In another story, he is forced to kill Oda Nobunaga and Mori Ranmaru. In the second installment of the series, the relationship with Ranmaru is not present; instead he becomes closer to Nobunaga (and takes longer to fall out with Nobunaga) to a point where he does not want to kill him. This caused Saika Magoichi to assassinate Nobunaga from afar, leaving Mitsuhide to be blamed. Akechi Mitsuhide somehow defeats the Toyotomi and the Saika, uniting the land in Nobunaga's name. In a special side story, he has to fight off and defeat the Tokugawa and the rest of Japan. He also appears in the ''Warriors Orochi'' spin-off series as a starting character in the "Samurai"/"Sengoku" story lines. In this game, he shows no intention of killing or betraying Oda Nobunaga and follows him faithfully; in fairness, this depiction is based on the ''Samurai Warriors 2'' incarnation. In ''Warriors Orochi 2'', he and Hosokawa Gracia, his daughter, are rescued by Xing Cai and Inahime. They become allies of Shu, and they tell Liu Bei of Taira Kiyomori and Sun Wukong. He has a dream mode stage where he teams up with Ling Tong and Yue Ying to battle Masamune Date. He is also in the spinoff of ''Samurai Warriors'' called ''Samurai Warriors Katana''. *He is featured as a playable character in ''Sengoku Basara'', where he is portrayed as a sadistic psychopath who wields dual scythes, and enjoys killing his opponents. His counterpart in ''Devil Kings'' is known as the "Reaper". He appears in ''Sengoku Basara 3'' in a new costume as well as a mask concealing his mouth, under a new name of "Tenkai". *Mitsuhide plays a part in Konami's video game ''Demon Chaos''. *In Eiji Yoshikawa's novel ''Taiko ki'' (released in English as ''Taiko: An Epic Novel of War and Glory in Feudal Japan''), Mitsuhide is emotionally abused by Nobunaga, who calls him by the nickname "kumquat head". *In Koei's video game ''Kessen III'', he is portrayed as an ally turned main villain through the game; this is because Oda Nobunaga is portrayed as the hero and unifier of Japan. *In ''Hikaru no Go'', a character named Yuki Mitani plays Mitsuhide in a school play. *In the manga series ''Tenjho Tenge'', the character Sōhaku Kago initially went by the name Akechi Mitsuhide, and killed Oda Nobunaga by decapitation. He then faked his death and became the High Buddhist priest called Tenkai, manipulating the Tokugawa from within. *In the James Clavell historical novel ''Shōgun'', the character of "Akechi Jinsai" is a pastiche of Mitsuhide. *Akechi Mitsuhide is one of few captains who have non-generic faces in the eroge ''Sengoku Rance''. He can be replaced with his daughter Hosokawa Gracia, after doing two of his events using Rance's satisfaction points. *In the anime series ''Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox'', Mitsuhide is portrayed as a gender-switched version of himself, played by Eri Kitamura. *In the anime series ''The Ambition of Oda Nobuna'', Mitsuhide is portrayed as a female protagonist serving Oda Nobuna *Drifters he appears as an End. *In the Custom Game Mode of Warcraft III The Frozen Throne, One of the Selectable Heroes from the Orc Faction, is a Blade Master, with Various Names. Among the Numerous Blade Master Names was "Jubei", in Reference to this Samurai Warrior. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People of the Sengoku period in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
