Tsuneoki Ikeda

Tsuneoki Ikeda is Terumasa's father and Kazumasu Takigawa's cousin. Serving Nobunaga since their youth, he is said to have had been one of the young lord's playmates. He served in many campaigns in Mino before he supported Hideyoshi's rise to power. Tsuneoki rose to become an influential general during his lifetime, often called the "number four" man under Hideyoshi.

Role in Games
In the first Samurai Warriors, Ikeda served the Oda in some of their battles against the Ikko rebels and the Azai. In the expansion he is given a role at Komaki-Nagakute. Once Ieyasu leads his men to Komaki, Ikeda begins his assault on the Tokugawa main camp with his escorts being Hidemasa Hori, Hidenaga Hashiba and Nagayoshi Mori. Despite their efforts, the botched assault costs Tsuneoki and Nagayoshi their lives.

In Samurai Warriors 2, Tsuneoki and his men are easily routed from the picture at Komaki. In Kotaro's story, Ikeda attempts to charge on the Hojo camp, and has to be stopped before he can enter it.
