Kiyomasa Katō

Kiyomasa Katō is a character introduced in Samurai Warriors 3. He is a loyal general of the Toyotomi clan and one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake. He is one of the many generals who join the Eastern Army prior to Sekigahara. He is symbolized by the characters "incite" (激) and "rend" (裂).

Samurai Warriors
In Samurai Warriors 2, Kiyomasa is always seen alongside Masanori Fukushima. They act as Nene's closest "children" and are very loyal to her. They address her as "Lady Nene" at all times. However, he can't stand Mitsunari and often berates him. When Sekigahara takes place, he is one of the generals in the Eastern Army. He apologizes for his rash behavior in Nene's dream stage. During Kojiro's story mode, he is one of the men who leads the anti-Ieyasu Coalition in Kyoto and helps Hideyori escape. He pleads for his lord to observe Ieyasu's vile intentions for the Toyotomi family.

Kessen
Kiyomasa is a general who appears with Josui in Kessen. He's Masanori's childhood friend and won't fight him if they're on opposing sides. He's usually mute in the game's cutscenes but will talk if he meets Masanori in battle. Depending on the actions of the player, both of them can fight together on the field. He leads a sturdy cavalry and is one of the faster units in the game.

Kiyomasa can be recruited into Nobunaga's army in Kessen III. If Hideyoshi's unit survives the battle at Anegawa, he will appear. He has a high cavalry proficiency and can serve as a good spear unit. If he is put in an unit with Masanori, their morale will rise and they will perform well.

Saihai no Yukue
He returns as a minor cameo for the Eastern Army in Saihai no Yukue. His hatred of Mitsunari is downplayed.

Personality
Kiyomasa is a hot-tempered and rowdy man who greatly admires Hideyoshi and Nene and is good friends with Masanori. Known to also be fiercely persistent in his beliefs, he clashes with the equally stubborn Mitsunari.
