Role in Games

Rairen is one of the Ikko Rebels seen trying to defend Kyoto late in Magoichi's Samurai Warriors story. When Kennyo and his men begin to surrender, Rairen defects and marks Magoichi his enemy. In the sequel, he is among the many who try to defend the rebel ranks at Osaka Bay.

In Warriors Orochi 3, he serves as Magoichi's replacement NPC when players control Magoichi on said maps.

Quotes

  • "I'm counting on you, Rairen. It feels good knowing I have someone reliable covering my back."
"I as well, Magoichi. But, could you perhaps do something about your indiscriminate womanizing?"
"What about you and your chastity? You're more popular with the ladies than I am, and you don't even give them the time of day. Need a few pointers?"
"At least try to refrain yourself in battle. It's painful watching you courting with the enemy."
~~Magoichi and Rairen; 100man-nin no Sengoku Musou
