	Kobayakawa Hideaki
		Hideaki was the 5th son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's brother-in-law Kinoshita Iesada (1543-1603).
		Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have intervened on Hideaki's behalf on at least one occasion during the latter's period of disgrace.
		Hideaki's agreement, however, was only a ruse - he sent a letter to Ieyasu promising that in the coming battle, he could be counted on to betray his erstwhile allies.

		Kobayakawa Hideaki (小早川秀秋, 1582–December 1, 1602) was fifth son of Kinoshita Iesada and the nephew of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
		Before the battle of Sekigahara, Hideaki happened to be in Osaka and acted as though he would go along with Mitsunari even though he had intended to betray him having secretly communicated with Ieyasu for an eventual betrayal.
		Hideaki then ordered attack into Otani troop and while this attack was beaten back temporalily, rest of samurai who promised betrayal turned and attacked and the battle was over in a day with Mitsunari's force being wiped out.

	Kobayakawa Hideaki
		Upon the birth of Hideyoshi's true son, Hideyori, Hideaki was adopted again by Kohayakawa Takekage.
		Hideaki was given control of Pusan when Hideyoshi sent his invasion force to Korea, but after the fighting was over, he was blamed for the inadequate assistance given at the attack at Ulsan Castle and had his estate slashed in size; he was even briefly recalled to Echizen.
		Hideaki formed close links with the Tokugawa although Ieyasu was Hideyoshi's rival.

		He and his troops also seem to have performed as a kind of escort for Kobayakawa Hideaki when he came into Echizen, and also for Horio Yoshiharu when he went to Fuchu.
		Thus, when Kobayakawa Hideaki came into Echizen, Naoyasu sided with him, and when Otani Yoshitsugu came, Naoyasu likewise joined him.
		However, once Naoyasu saw the traitor Kobayakawa Hideaki rush down the slopes of Mount Matsuo with his men towards Otani Yoshitsugu, he turned turncoat as well and attacked the latter.

		When Kobayakawa finally made his charge down the hill, prompted by a volley fired at him on Ieyasu's orders, it was against the brave Otani rather than the Eastern army that his men's bloodlust was directed.
		If Kobayakawa Hideaki's 15,600 men suddenly moved from their hillside position overlooking the bloody battlefield at the southern end of the line and attacked Lord Tokugawa's exposed southern flank, the Eastern Army's cause would probably be lost.
		On the south flank, also in a strong position were the 15,600 troops of Kobayakawa Hideaki on Mount Matsuo, and in the center, also in a strong position due to high ground at the base of Mount Tengu, The 17,000 men commanded by Ukita Hideie and other units.

		This led some western commanders holding key positions to hesitate when pressed to send in reinforcements or join the battle that was already in progress.
		They were in such positions that if they decided to close in on Tokugawa forces, the western forces would in fact have Tokugawa surrounded on three sides.
		Even though Kobayakawa had responded to Tokugawa's call, he remained hesitant and neutral.

		As the battle raged on, Kobayakawa Hideaki, who was situated above Yoshitsugu on Mount Matsuo, didn't move, despite repeated calls from Ishida Mitsunari.
		His hunch was right, as following a stimulatory gun volley from Ieyasu's position, Kobayakawa Hideaki and his troops rushed down the mountain towards Yoshitsugu's position.
		Yoshitsugu's troops fought back, at one point even driving back Kobayakawa's troops partway up the mountain, but in the end, sheer numbers took their toll.

		There is no time to be concerned with the affairs of others in front, behind, or on either flank.
		Stunned by the response, all Ishida could do was rely on the dubious loyalty of General Kobayakawa Hideaki and hope he would do his duty.
		General Otani Yoshitsugu was not surprised by Kobayakawa's lack of movement, for he had suspected treachery all along.

		Though Ishida Mitsunari pleaded with his supposed ally, Kobayakawa Hideaki (小早川秀秋), to charge from his position and attack the Eastern forces, Kobayakawa merely held his position and kept a neutral stance.
		When Kobayakawa defected it ultimately shattered the morale of Ishida's forces and the Western forces fell apart, though Ootani Yoshitsugu held out for a long time before more defections of Western Army officers ultimately drove him to commit suicide.
		In the aftermath of the battle, Mitsunari was taken prisoner and sent to the Rokujôgahara execution grounds.

		In the 2nd Korean Campaign Hideyoshi entrusted Yoshitaka to act as chief advisor to the leader of the invasion force, the young Kobayakawa Hideaki.
		In the Korean Campaign of 1597-98, progress had been marginal, prompting Hideyoshi to dispatch Ishida Mitsunari to inspect the expeditionary forces.
		Ishida had accused Kobayakawa Hideaki of incompetence, a charge that saw Hideaki brought home and indirectly besmirched Yoshitaka’s honor.

		Yeah, the real other big powers at Sekigahara were Kobayakawa Hideaki and the indecisive Mori.
		Kobayakwa Hideaki and Ishida Mitsunari are no where close to being called such.
		Well, if Mistunari's force won on the day, and IF (a mighty big if) Mitsunari was still able to maintain a leadership role after the battle he may have looked at setting up something like the bakufu.

		Mitsunari seeks the military aid of Kobayakawa Hideaki, the nephew of the late Hideyoshi.
		But Kobayakawa, already in collusion with Ieyasu, feigns illness and declines to help.
		Meanwhile, Hidetada, who has been ordered to join up with his father, is stuck in the seige of Ueda Castle.

		Didn't Ieyasu order his arquebusiers to fire on Kobayakawa Hideaki in order to spur him into action against Ishida Mitsunari?
		They must have made arrangements to change sides before the battle began.
