Yoshiaki Mogami

Yoshiaki Mogami is the eleventh leader of the Mogami clan and Masamune's uncle. Renowned for his political influence and wealth, he doubled as a courageous warrior and commander. Known by the nickname "The Fox of Ushu", he has a mixed reputation in fictional sources. He is either depicted as a benevolent and wise ruler or as a shrewd, villainous man who didn't fight at all.

His Nobunaga's Ambition counterpart is twenty-eighth place in Gamecity's character popularity ranking for 2015. He placed twenty-eighth in the Nobunaga no Yabou Taishi poll for most favorite father.

Role in Games
In Samurai Warriors 2, Yoshiaki is one of the commanders at Hasedo. When Kanetsugu and Keiji hear of Mitsunari's defeat at Sekigahara, they stop their siege at Hasedo and choose to retreat. As Masamune arrives to help him, Yoshiaki appears at the fifth gate to stop their escape. During the Date scenario, Yoshiaki is a head-strong and stubborn commander who is a little too demanding for his subordinates' obedience. Masamune considers him a hassle but supports him due to their family ties. He also appears to support the Tokugawa in various hypotheticals such as Edo Castle and Ieyasu's resistance at Kawanakajima against a pre emptive Uesugi raid. For Samurai Warriors 3, he stays within his castle and fights to stop Kanetsugu from entering. In Samurai Warriors 4, his role remains similar where he remains in the castle but the Mogami are visually distinct from the Date. He also opposes Masamune in his rise and leads a coalition of Tohoku warlords at Koriyama such as the Ashina and Satake in a decisive conflict. He declares his allegiance to his nephew afterwards.

In Kessen, Yoshiaki appears late in the game to assist Ieyasu in his final battles.
