	Ishida Mitsunari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ishida Mitsunari (石田三成 Ishida Mitsunari 1560 - November 6, 1600) was a samurai who led the West side in the Battle of Sekigahara.
		Mitsunari's execution was particularly brutal: he was buried in the ground up to his neck and beheaded using a blunt saw.
		Mitsunari had three sons (Shigeie, Shigenari and Sakichi) and three daughters (only the younger girl's name is known, Tatsuko) from his wife and another child from a mistress.

	Ishida Mitsunari
		In the meantime, Mitsunari and his compatriots had hoped that Uesugi Kagekatsu would be able to delay Ieyasu himself from marching west long enough for the Western forces to consolidate their hold on the provinces around Kyoto.
		In the meantime, the Ishida's castle of Sawayama was attacked and Mitsunari's brother, Masazumi, commited suicide.
		Mitsunari himself was taken to the Rokujôgahara execution grounds in Kyoto and was beheaded along with Ankokuji Ekei and Konishi Yukinaga.

	Ishida Mitsunari (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mitsunari was not much of a general, but he excelled in administrative affairs, and fortunately for him this was recognized by Hideyoshi.
		During the battle itself, Mitsunari was at the head of 6000 troops, and was attacked fiercely throughout, not only because he was the commander of the western army, but because of the animosity many of the eastern generals felt towards him.
		Mitsunari has been called a "slanderer," and an "upstart," and even "evil," but it must also be remembered that history is written by the victors.

	IGN Boards - Mitsunari Ishida?
		Ishida also took care of the hidden stuff of Toyotomi's life (I said 'hidden', but not that it was a secret or anything) -- such as the biz around Takenaka Hanbei's sister, Takenaka Oyu (click here for story and pictures).
		Ishida always made long 'for your eyes only' reports to Toyotomi, stating which General and which Captain it is at the time who didn't do his job well.
		Ishida was the first to nail Tokugawa as 'dangerous', and attempted to assassinate him -- though this clumsy deed (Ishida did it himself, for Christ's sake!) failed.

	Kobayakawa Hideaki
		There may have been something to Mitsunari's reports, for Hideyoshi arranged for Hideaki to be relocated from Kyushu to Kita no sho in Echizen, with a consequential drop in income from 336,000 koku to 120,000 koku.
		Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have intervened on Hideaki's behalf on at least one occasion during the latter's period of disgrace.
		Ishida, mindful no doubt of their troubled history, offered Hideaki the title of Kanpaku and guardianship of the late Hideyoshi's son Hideyori - impressive offers indeed.

		Before the battle of Sekigahara, Yoshitsugu was said to have repeatedly tried to persuade Mitsunari of the futility of his actions.
