		Kikkawa Hiroie(吉川広家) is a third son of Kikkawa Motoharu and ruled Iwakuni han.
		Hiroie's father is Kikkawa Motoharu and his mother is a daughter of Kumagai Nobunao who was well known for her ugliness.

	The Môri generals
		Hiroie was Kikkawa Motoharu's son and succeded his elder brother Motonaga when the latter died in 1587.
		After the battle, Hiroie was disappointed to discover that Ieyasu had no intention of rewarding the Môri for their inactivity, though he did increase Hiroie's own fief somewhat.
		Kikkawa Hiroie, however, positioned to his front, had decided not to challange the Tokugawa, and would not move.

	shiroyama
		Hiroie made his family's residential buildings at the foot of Mt. Shiroyama and built a castle on the 210-meter northern peak of this mountain to prepare against wars, putting to good use a natural setting - the Nishiki River which served as an ideal outer moat of the castle flows around the mountain.
		The present castle was rebuilt in 1962, armor and arms of the time are displayed inside the castle, and the top floor is an observatory from which the view of the city is splendid.
		After the Meiji Restoration (1867) the Kikkawa clan's residential area at the foot of the mountain was opened to the public as a beautiful park which is now called Kikko Park.

	Kikkawa Hiroie (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Kikkawa Hiroie was born in 1561 as "Saijumaru" to Kikkawa Motoharu, one of the Mori clan's winningest generals.
		Due to this, Ankokuji Ekei, Natsuka Masaie, and Mori Hidemoto were not able to attack without Kikkawa's forces (and because the latter's forces were in the way), and thus the eastern side of Sekigahara was relatively inactive for the duration of the battle.
		Ever the loyal one to his clan, Hiroie pleaded with Ieyasu to be able to divide up his land with Terumoto, and succeeded.

		It was daimyo Kikkawa Hiroyoshi who ordered the construction of the bridge in 1673 to solve the problem of crossing the Nishiki-gawa every time it flooded.
		The most advanced civil engineering techniques of the time were used, and even though the 210-metre-long bridge was built without a single nail, bound together with clamps and wires, the original stood in place until Typhoon Kezia swept it away in 1950.
		Adjoining the bridge on the west bank of the Nishiki-gawa is a landscaped park, Kikko-koen, once the estate of the ruling Kikkawa clan.

	Natsuka Masaie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After Hideyoshi died in 1600, Masaie and Ishida Mitsunari who was also one of the Go-Bugyo, put up Mori Terumoto and raised their army to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
		At the battle of Sekigahara, Masaie lined their army on Nangu-san with Mori Hidemoto and Kikkawa Hiroie.
		However, Masaie was prevented from fighting by Hiroie and finally routed to Minakuchi.

	Môri Terumoto
		The combined Môri faction (to include Môri Terumoto, Môri Hidemoto, and Kikkawa Hiroie) was the largest contingent in Ishida's army, but in the actual battle, it barely moved an inch.
		Sulking in Osaka Castle, Terumoto had been convinced by Kikkawa Hiroie that the best course of action now was to do nothing, indicating that both considered Ishida a lost cause - or at least one not worth fighting for.
		Kikkawa let this reach Ieyasu, who suggested that inaction would bring rewards if the Eastern Forces won.

		It would be some 260 years before Mori's Choshu domain and Shimazu's Satsuma domain jointly overthrew the Tokugawa Shogunate to avenge the defeat and indignities they suffered in the Battle of Sekigahara.

	... Iwakuni Castle ...
		We don't know what this building is, but it is beautiful and sits in the center of the castle's moat -- I don't know why the castle has a moat, it's built on top of Mt. Shiroyama!
		Here is a little bit of history from the brochure: "The first lord of Iwakuni, Hiroie Kikkawa, launched construction in 1601 of a castle atop the strategically important Mt. Shiroyama.
		The castle was finished in 1608, but was demolished just seven years later when the shogun decreed that there could be only one castle in each province.

		I made my way south and slew Hiroie Kikkawa and Ekei Ankouji as they advanced, then backtracked a little and intercepted Hidetomo Mori, Masaie Natsuka, and Morichika Chosokabe, all of whom were coming up the easternmost path.
		Tadakatsu Honda and Ina were both under heavy attack at this point, so I headed west and saved Ina from Hideaki Kobayakawa and a handful of other generals who were menacing her.
