Hidetada Tokugawa

Hidetada Tokugawa is Ieaysu's third son and successor. He fought the Sanada army at Ueda Castle during the Sekigahara campaign and lost the battle horribly. He was unable to assist the Eastern army and was said to have earned his father's scorn. Still, he became the second Tokugawa shogun.

Samurai Warriors
In Samurai Warriors 2, Hidetada appears on the Tokugawa's side at Ueda Castle, Osaka Castle and Edo Castle. In Kanetsugu's version of the siege of Edo Castle, Hidetada is guarding the castle in his father's absence and is in the main keep. If he is defeated before Ieyasu's arrival, his father will grieve for his son. During Musashi's story, he becomes the land's ruler but is killed by Hideyori's army. With his dying breath, he pleads Hideyori to create the world their fathers wanted: a world of peace.

Warriors Orochi
During Warriors Orochi 2, Hidetada appears alongside his father in the Wu and Shu armies, replacing his father if he is in the player's team.

Kessen
Hidetada is Ieyasu's bumbling and seemingly incompetent son in Kessen. Although he desires to make him proud, he is often berated by his father. In an effort to compensate for his loss at Ueda Castle, he orders for Masayuki's assassination and gravely disappoints his father. When he is named the shogun, Hidetada invokes his own desires to rule and becomes more confident in himself. He volunteers to lead the troops at Osaka Castle and, though Ieyasu is pleased with his son's eagerness, he is denied.

Though given large armies, he habitually loses against more intelligent and experienced opponents.
