Iehisa Shimazu

Iehisa Shimazu is a Shimazu retainer known for his tactical prowess. The youngest of the four Shimazu brothers, he is also Toyohisa's father. Many of the clan's victories were attributed to Iehisa's tactics. Although he officially died from illness, some rumors claim that Hideyoshi poisoned him.

Role in Games
Iehisa is found most of the time at Kyūshū. In the second game, he and Tadamoto Niiro will lead an ambush unit against Hidehisa Sengoku, prompting a mission to defeat them. During Yoshihiro's story, Iehisa is tasked with ambushing Ginchiyo after taking out the bridge. On Shingen and Kenshin's dream stages, Iehisa and Toshihisa will attempt to infiltrate the main camp of the Takeda-Uesugi alliance.

The third game has him guard the northwestern garrison during Kiyomasa Katō's story while Muneshige's version relegates him to charging the player's base directly.

During the Kyūshū scenario in Samurai Warriors 4, Iehisa first appears defending Taka Castle against the Tachibana at Mimikawa. At Okitanawate, he leads the lure-and-ambush plan against the Ryūzōji, though Toyohisa protests his father's orders to withdraw. The Legend of a Land United's iteration of Kyūshū has him take part in the charge into the Toyotomi's main camp, forcing players to impede his advance.
