Kawagoe Castle

The Siege of Kawagoe Castle (''' 河越城の戦い) is one of the earliest battles of the Warring States period. The Uesugi forces attacked the castle well, but reinforcements led by Ujiyasu gave the trapped Tsunashige a turn-around advantage. '''

Role in Game
The stage first appears in Samurai Warriors Katana where Kotaro sends a lone ninja there to rescue Tsunashige from annihilation. The ninja defends the upper parts before moving the ground levels to rescue the entrapped Hojo commander. Although Tsunashige is found, the ninja then has to deal with Kenshin Uesugi before escaping.

For Samurai Warriors 3, the siege is exclusive to Ujiyasu's story as it uses the same map as Inabayama, Kozuki and Fushimi castles. The rescue starts with Ujiyasu luring Norishige Obata. Norikage and Norinaga Nagao out to the open before wounding them. Next, the Hojo leader then moves to the Southwestern garrison and calmly greets Norimasa before knocking him out and causing the Uesugi Coalition to fight amongst themselves. This gives Ujiyasu a good distraction to rescue his adoptive brother. Suddenly. Shingen Takeda and Yoshimoto Imagawa arrive to assist Tomosada and Aya. Once Tsunashige is safely away, he announces he will go and secure Koga. Ujiyasu then goes after Tomosada to finish the battle.
