Tadaoki Hosokawa

Tadaoki Hosokawa is Gracia's husband and the fifteenth leader of the Hosokawa clan. He was one of the former Toyotomi generals to join the Eastern Army prior to Sekigahara. Several sources claim that this was due to his wife's infamous death.

Samurai Warriors
Tadaoki is one of Mitsuhide's allies at Honnoji. In the second title, he is a Tokugawa vassal at Sekigahara. During Masamune's dream stage, he is one of the generals who defects when Hideyori takes to the field.

In Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends, Tadaoki is briefly mentioned in Gracia's story. He was away when the Western Army was trying to her take hostage. His subordinates reflect that Tadaoki ordered them to kill her and themselves in this situation but choose to live with her encouragement. He also appears in Kojiro's dream stage with Gracia.

Kessen
In Kessen, Tadaoki is one of Ieyasu's loyal generals. He leads a massive archery and rifle unit, making him a solid offense and defensive unit. The night before Sekigahara, he requests permission to lead the advance for Mitsunari's camp. He wants to avenge the death of his wife and wears a cross on his shoulder pads in her memory. After Mitsunari's death, he consoles a drunken Fukushima, stating that he should not speak ill of Ieyasu's methods. He continues to be a part of the Eastern Army, even after Mitsunari's death.

Saihai no Yukue
Tadaoki returns for the Eastern Army in Saihai no Yukue. Prior to the Battle at Sekigahara, he was known as a talented and kind young man with a good reputation. He dearly treasured his wife, Garasha, yet was puzzled at how she stopped smiling in his presence before her death. When she was killed before Sekigahara, he spiraled into despair and felt lost without her. He heard Mitsunari was the last person to visit her, which lead him to believe that he was responsible for the fire. Consumed with grief and rage, he joins Ieyasu's cause. He adopts demon-like mannerisms and is blind with vengeance.

His men charge for Mitsunari's camp and wound him. In the second confrontation with Hosokawa, Mitsunari pleads for him to listen to his last conversation with Garasha and the truth behind her death. There, he learns that an impostor left the order to kill his wife if she was in danger of being held hostage. Together, the two men realize that someone else started the deadly fire (the perpetrator is later revealed to be Lady Yodo). Left with no reason to fight, Tadaoki begins to wonder why he joined the war. While he continues to be on the Eastern Army's side, Sakon remarks that he has no willpower and "is just there".
