Next, we introduce Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was active in the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, and two of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa, Honda Tadakatsu and Ii Naomasa.
Lord Ieyasu's appearance has changed dramatically from two months ago, which will surely capture the viewers' interest. His armored figure is so dignified that we also created a black version. This suits Tokugawa Ieyasu perfectly, as he is strongly associated with deep thought and foresight.
Next is Honda Tadakatsu. He was entrusted with staying behind, but upon hearing that Ieyasu was struggling and on the verge of collapse against Hideyoshi's army, he rushed from Komaki with only 500 soldiers. There is an anecdote that Tadakatsu stood before a large army, rode in alone, and rinsed his horse's mouth in a river.
Seeing this, Hideyoshi highly praised Tadakatsu as a brave warrior.
Of course, this episode is also engraved on this jet-black antler helmet.
And then Ii Naomasa. He is famous as the commander who led the "Ii Red Helmets," and the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute was the debut battle for this red-armored unit.
Naomasa's army is said to have crushed the detached Toyotomi forces led by Ikeda Tsuneoki and Mori Nagayoshi.
After this battle, Naomasa assisted Ieyasu's diplomatic strategy and continued to play an increasingly active role as his favorite warrior.
