Tatsuoki Saitō

Tatsuoki Saitō is Yoshitatsu Saitō's son, Nō's nephew, Dosan Saitō's possible grandson and one of Nobunaga's early rivals in his rise to power.

Role in Games
In Samurai Warriors, he fights with his father to overthrow or defend against the Oda at Inabayama Castle. In Samurai Warriors 2: Empires, he is one of the rival warlords of Mino who the player can control to conquer the land. His officers include Toshimitsu Saitō and the Mino Three.

During the Warriors Orochi series, he serves as a willing general in Orochi's army and is one of the few who stay loyal to him.

Tatsuoki appears as a recurring villain in Kessen III. He is the ruler of Mino and Gifu Castle and a cruel man. Often conspiring to topple Nobunaga, he is furious that his aunt ignores his demands to betray her husband. After he loses to Nobunaga at Sunomata or Kiso River and Inabayama, he joins the Shogunate Force and later the Asakura Clan. If the player chooses to fight the Asakura when Echizen is invaded, then Tatsuoki is shot and killed by an arrow from the Oda forces in a cutscene. If the player does not fight the Asakura, then they are informed that he and Yoshikage were killed in an uprising.
