Hiroie Kikkawa is one of the many generals who won fame during Hideyoshi's failed Korean Campaign. He is best known for allegedly predicting the defeat of the Western Army and secretly negotiating a ceasefire with Nagamasa Kuroda. Present at the Battle of Sekigahara, he did nothing and famously said that he was going to eat his lunch for the rest of the day.

[edit] Role in Games

[edit] Samurai Warriors

In Samurai Warriors 2, Kikkawa curses that he would join Ieyasu if Ekei wasn't with him. If Ekei is defeated, Kikkawa and Mori will defect to the Tokugawa. In Yukimura and Motochika's versions of the stage, Kikkawa will actively take part of the battle under the Eastern Army's standard.

[edit] Kessen

Before the Battle of Sekigahara in Kessen, Kikkawa contacts Naga and promises to defect. He becomes one of Hidemoto's advisors during the battle and tries to convince his lord to join the East. Players who choose to play the Western Army will never see him accept their orders, even if they win Sekigahara.

[edit] Saihai no Yukue

Kikkawa is a domineering and rude general who is assigned to guard Hidemoto in Saihai no Yukue. Taller than either of his companions and armed with yakuza-like slang, he abuses his stature to intimidate them to not move. Hatsu reveals to Mitsunari that he has already defected to Ieyasu and is the one responsible for Hidemoto's inaction. While Mitsunari personally heads towards Hidemoto, Kikkawa is assassinated by the kunoichi.
