Topic: Tonbogiri


  
  Honda Tadakatsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the game, it is revealed that historically he had a daughter named Inahime, who is also playable.
Due to the presence of his historical weapon Tonbogiri as a Created Officer's weapon, he wields another large spear instead.
It is unknown if he will once again wield the Tonbogiri in the second installment of the game.

Indeed the pass was even quieter than the mountains above them; it was a place that begged investigation like an ancient castle or a cave.
Koshin smiled, "Thirty years ago, Ujirou-san, this small pass was named Tonbogiri; during the Clan Wars, a group of undead tried to penetrate the Dragon Lands through this area, thinking the same thing that you do now.
The result was a flened sky of arrowsÂ…though who knows whether it is still guarded, given the state of the Dragonfly lands."

If so, then I am a direct descendent of Hahachi Honda, retainer to Lord Ieyasu Tokugawa who in 1601 defeated Mitsunari Ishida at the battle of Sekigahara to unify all of Japan.
Hahachi Honda was famous for his Tonbogiri spear (literally 'dragon-fly cutting spear') and the fact that he was never hurt in battle regardless of how perilous the situation was.
The name is derived from a story that Hahachi Honda was standing in the presence of Lord Ieyasu (the above named), Masanori -ushima (head of Ieyasu's Seven Spearmen), Mitsuhide and Hidemitsu Akechi, and a dragon-fly went to perch atop the spear, in doing so it was immediately cut in half.

 Kessen for PlayStation 2 Reviews at DealTime.co.uk
Imagine a video game version of, say, the samurai movie Heaven&Earth, or the battle scenes from Braveheart.
You don’t play Kessen to be tactically challenged, but to watch cavalry plow into footmen, cannon tearing through both men and horse, and Honda Tadakatsu leaping from his horse to swat down ashigaru with his Tonbogiri.
The action sweeps by you in short cut scenes that use the in-game engine, resulting in beautiful action scenes with an epic feel.
