Takakage Kobayakawa

Takakage Kobayakawa is Motonari's third son who was adopted into the Kobayakawa family at an early age. After Motonari passed away, he and his older brother, Motoharu Kikkawa, were responsible for Terumoto's upbringing. Takakage was the particularly harsh and stricter guardian of the two. Although he could have been severely punished for his actions, Terumoto appreciated him and saw him as his father figure. He had no children but adopted two, one of which includes Hideaki.

Role in Games
Takakage first appears in Samurai Warriors: State of War fighting against the Oda army. He next appears in Samurai Warriors 2: Empires alongside one of his brothers, Hidekane. His first appearance in the series proper is in Samurai Warriors 3. Takakage participates in all of his father's and nephew's campaigns. At Kizugawa, Motochika will try to kill Takakage as repentance for Mitsuhide's mistake. If Nobunaga is being controlled, Takakage will be commanding the fireball attack. He and his older brother can protect their nephew at Kozuki if Motonari manages to beat Ittetsu Inaba with full health. During Kanbei's Chugoku Invasion, Takakage lures his opponent, Kanbei, into a trap.

Kessen III reduces Takakage's role to a minor enemy general serving under Terumoto.

In Mouri Motonari: Chikai no Sanya, Takakage serves his father as one of his main generals.
