From Koei Tecmo Wiki

Tatsuoki Saitō is Yoshitatsu Saitō's son, and Nagamasa Azai's nephew, Dōsan Saitō's grandson, and one of Nobunaga's early rivals in his rise to power.

Role in Games

Samurai Warriors

In Samurai Warriors, he fights with his father to overthrow or defend against the Oda at Inabayama Castle.

In the sequel, he makes a brief appearance as one of the Kansai warlords who reinforce the Anti-Oda coalition in Mt. Usa. If Katsuie reaches him, he will defect along with the other warlords.

In Samurai Warriors 2: Empires, he is one of the rival warlords of Mino who the player can control to conquer the land. His officers include Toshimitsu Saitō and the Mino Three.

He is Hanbei's first master in Samurai Warriors 3. Tatsuoki, who is more interested in drinking and playing with ladies, is surprised and irritated when Hanbei informs him of the approaching Oda army.

In Sengoku Musou Chronicle 2nd, he joins the Azai ranks after Inabayama Castle fell to Nobunaga's assault. He participates in the battle of Kanegasaki, in an attempt to capture Nobunaga, and later joined the defense of Noda-Fukushima alongside the protagonist and Takatora. He later reveals that he would like to create a world where everyone can live proudly, be they warriors or peasants.

At the Azai and Asakura's desperate retreat at Tonezaka, when Nobunaga appears to march upon the allies, Tatsuoki heroically charges Nobunaga, sacrificing himself in order to slow the Oda forces down and allow Yoshikage to retreat.

In Samurai Warriors 4, he is less cowardly than his previous counterpart and personally leads his troops to Kyoto to overthrow Nobunaga's march. Relying on Hanbei's strategies, however, he flees once his army is routed and has a special conversation with Nō about her father. He also appears with his men as part of the Azai-lead coalition at Noda-Fukushima although his fate is unknown after the battle, so presumably he dies while fighting the Oda army.

At Samurai Warriors 5, Tatsuoki is one of his father's supporters, and would aid in the defense of Inabayama Castle. When his father is killed, Tatsuoki follows Yoshitatsu's dying wish to continue resisting the Oda. He initially throws his lot in with the Rokkaku Clan and Miyoshi Triumvirate at Kyoto for the opportunity to kill Nobunaga, but when this fails, he joins the Azai-Asakura army instead.

Once the tide finally turns against the anti-Nobunaga Coalition, Tatsuoki makes his last stand at Tonezaka to help defend Yoshikage Asakura, and his unit will attack Mitsuki during her attempt to infiltrate the Asakura's castle. He is finally slain and is left to die in shame as Oda troops begin pouring into Echizen.

Warriors Orochi

During the Warriors Orochi series, he serves as a willing general in Orochi's army and is one of the few who stay loyal to him.

Kessen

Tatsuoki appears as a recurring villain in Kessen III. He is the ruler of Mino and Gifu Castle and a cruel man. Often conspiring to topple Nobunaga, he is furious that his aunt ignores his demands to betray her husband. After he loses to Nobunaga at Sunomata or Kiso River and Inabayama, he joins the Shogunate Force and later the Asakura Clan. He becomes notorious for gunning down Yoshinari Mori while he was duelling with Nagamasa Azai much to the horror of the former's son. If the player chooses to fight the Asakura when Echizen is invaded, then Tatsuoki is shot and killed by an arrow from the Oda forces in a cutscene. If the player does not fight the Asakura, then they are informed that he and Yoshikage were killed in an uprising.
