Fushimi Castle

Fushimi Castle was a fortress located near Kyoto. It is most famous for being the last stand of Mototada Torii who sacrificed his life and held out for 10 days against Mitsunari Ishida's western army. The outcome of this battle allowed Ieyasu Tokugawa to gather his forces and some historians determine that Mototada's valorous actions were the deciding factor that ultimately let the eastern army win Sekigahara.

Role in games
Fushimi Castle appears in Samurai Warriors 3 in Ginchiyo Tachibana and Yoshihiro Shimazu's stories. The western army leads an offensive against the undermanned castle, initially the Shimazu want to side with the Eastern Army but are rebuked by Mototada, leading Yoshihiro and his men to side with the Eastern Army out of spite. Once the castle is occupied, the Eastern Army led by Tadakatsu Honda and Kanbei Kuroda appear to attack the western army from behind. Defeating generals such as Masanori Fukushima and protecting Hideaki Kobayakawa is imperative into allowing the western army to counterattack and make progress. The eastern army retreat as Kanbei solemnly declares that Sekigahara has already been decided.
