Louis Ozawa: Hideaki Kobayakawa

Quotes 

• Hideaki Kobayakawa : [while bird hunting with Tokugawa]  You ride like a madman.

  Tokugawa - Ieyasu : I need to keep up with you.

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : If you come to sk for my help, I can't give it.

  Tokugawa - Ieyasu : You know, Hideyaki if your uncle was alive, he would deal with the rebels as much as I will. Hideyaki, 5 years ago you returned from battle and Mitsunari suggested to your uncle that you pull a sword straight across your guts, he said you were a disgrace and you deserve death.

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : I've failed, I've led my troops to defeat.

  Tokugawa - Ieyasu : You were a boy, sent to do a man's job.

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : I know. You're the one that spoke up for me.

  Tokugawa - Ieyasu : It wasn't hard to do. I didn't want to see another young life wasted. I know this isn't going to be easy for you, but someone has to hold Japan together, like it or not that's you and me.

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : What do you want me to do?

• Hideaki Kobayakawa : [Stopped by Mitsunari and went into the woods]  I've heard you retired from public life.

  Mitsunari : I've heard that you were marching. You're betraying your family.

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : I'm keeping what's left of the peace.

  Mitsunari : That's how he persuaded you, wasn't it? Is that what Ieyasu told you?

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : This has nothing to do with Ieyasu.

  Mitsunari : This has everything to do with Ieyasu. I want to take Fushimi Castle, return the castle to your family.

  Hideaki Kobayakawa : You're asking me to betray a man who saved my life.

  Mitsunari : Oh, don't be so sentimental, Hideyaki. You know the truth. It's not just the country, but your family's banner. If Ieyasu becomes this country's unchallenged ruler, he'll be sure you and the boy are buried with it.
