Role in Games

Samurai Warriors

In Samurai Warriors 3, the Eastern Army version of Ishigaki Plains is featured in Kanbei and Kiyomasa's stories. The battlefield shares the same map as Kasai-Osaki, but uses different textures. Although Kanbei is the official commander, Kiyomasa must also survive the battle or the ally ranks will fall into disarray. Players should quickly infiltrate the stone labyrinth while facing the enemy officers within the vicinity to face Yoshihiro and Motochika. Their defeat triggers Yoshimune and Ginchiyo's charge, with reinforcements led Muneshige. For the Western side, it is only available in Ginchiyo's story. Players need to repel Kiyomasa and Masanori's overwhelming charge, allowing Motochika, Yoshihiro, and Muneshige to arrive as reinforcements to defeat Kanbei.

The battle appears in the Kyushu and Chugoku storylines as a side stage in Samurai Warriors 4. The Kyushu side is called Yanagawa and features Yoshihiro, Muneshige, Ginchyo and Kojiro as its primary officers. In the Chugoku story the primary officers are Kanbei, Kiyomasa and Musashi. Yanagawa is set at dusk, while Ishigaki Plains is set during the day.
