Ekei Ankokuji

Ekei Ankokuji is a reputed monk and military advisor during the Battle of Sekigahara. A Mitsunari sympathizer, he acts as one of Hidemoto's vassals.

Samurai Warriors
In Samurai Warriors 2, Ekei is the main reason why Hidemoto and Kikkawa stay loyal to the Western Army. If he is defeated during either scenario of the battle, the two generals will defect immediately. Surrounded by enemies, the players may sometimes receive a mission to rescue him.

Kessen
During Kessen, Ekei is Hidemoto's vassal who presses for his lord to attack the Eastern Army immediately. Unlike his comrades, he will follow any orders that Mitsunari will send his way. He will continue to serve the Toyotomi family if Mitsunari wins the battle, praising the commander on his political accomplishments.

Saihai no Yukue
The short and wise Ekei tries to convince Hidemoto to fight in Saihai no Yukue. His efforts are stifled by the giant Kikkawa, making his arguments comparatively inferior. When Hidemoto agrees to finally join the battle, Ekei has little faith in his lord's efforts and lazily wonders if he should quit the field. However, Mitsunari assures him that Hidemoto is changing for the better and convinces him to also trust in himself. Inspired, he becomes one of the three generals who changed history.
