Fujitaka Hosokawa

Fujitaka Hosokawa is Tadaoki's father and founder of his own branch of the Hosokawa clan. He started as a member of the shogunal military guard for the Ashikaga shogunate before he took Mitsuhide's recommendation to serve Nobunaga. Known as a master of many talents and a friend to the Three Unifiers, Fujitaka has been revered as one of the most educated individuals of his time.

Role in Games
In Samurai Warriors, he joins Mitsuhide's rebellion at Honnōji along with his son. He is last seen fighting alongside Mitsuhide's forces at Yamazaki. Playing the Toyotomi scenario at Yamazaki in Samurai Warriors 2 has the Hosokawa and Tsutsui forces aid Akechi in their last defense. However if the player is Mitsuhide, Fujitaka and his son will side with the Hashiba.

In Kessen III, he defects from the Oda on Mitsuhide and Yoshiaki's request and appears after Honnoji as an enemy general. He apologizes for his actions to his friends and Nobunaga, yet is firm in his beliefs for protecting the shogunate.

During Terumoto's first battle with Mitsuhide in Mōri Motonari: Chikai no Sanshi, Fujitaka arrives with Junkei Shishii as reinforcements for the Akechi army. He takes the northern base of the field and defends himself with a bow. When defeated, Fujitaka says the situation is no longer profitable for him and refuses to help Mitsuhide further.
