Goemon Ishikawa

Goemon Ishikawa (石川 五衛門) is a character who appears in Samurai Warriors. He is a professional thief who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He is believed to be a former ninja of the Iga clan.

Samurai Warriors
He seeks to steal the Plover Urn from Hideyoshi Toyotomi. He often speaks and acts like a kabukimono (i.e., a braggart with a big ego who will loudly announce his reputation to anyone who will listen). He makes it a personal duty to keep peace in his hometown, Kyoto. He is a big fan of the dancing priestess Okuni and follows her as a self-appointed bodyguard.

He isn't playable in Samurai Warriors 2 but he appears in the mini game Sugoroku. He appears to swipe someone's gold and gives it to the person with the lowest amount of gold.

Warriors Orochi
He is playable in the crossover game Warriors Orochi, where he gets into serious trouble when he makes off with a treasure owned by Wei Yan. Wei Yan was given the treasure by Liu Bei himself, and takes off after the thief like the hound from hell.

Kessen
Goemon appears as a recruitable unit in the third Kessen. He needs to be defeated on the battlefield before he agrees to join Nobunaga's forces. He is one of the earliest ninja units in the game.
