== Background ==
Sodachi claims to be a descendent of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the three samurai lords who unified Japan at the end of the Warring States period, but whose lineage was thought to be extinguished after the suicide of his only heir, Toyotomi Hideyori, during the Siege of Osaka in 1615.
== Involvement ==
=== Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!: 1867 ===
Sodachi has been amassing an army of ronin and bandits in a cave network outside of Kyo to assault the capital and re-establish the Toyotomi Clan as the Shogun dynasty of Japan. Unfortunately for him, Sakamoto Ryoma is tasked by the Shinsengumi with traveling into his cave network and eliminating the bandit gangs that have been congregating there. Ryoma fights his way deeper and deeper into the caves and eventually uncovers Sodachi's secret plans for rebellion.
Ryoma confronts Sodachi in his throne room at the very bottom of the cave network and then fights him and his personal guard. Despite being outnumbered, Ryoma defeats Sodachi and his men in battle. However, before Sakamoto and Sodachi can duel once more, the Toyotomi Clan leader is wounded by Amon Genjosai, the leader of a sinister clan of assassins who'd been spying on Ryoma and now wants to challenge him to a duel after becoming convinced that he's the greatest warrior in Japan. Once Ryoma defeats Amon in the dungeon, Sodachi recovers and warns him about Amon's sword's curse, which will now go down Sodachi's descendants.
== Fighting Style ==
Sodachi wields a massive odachi longsword, and fights with Sakamoto's greatsword moveset.
His aura is pinkish red.
==Trivia==
* Hidetake is replaced in Like a Dragon: Ishin! with Sodachi Nobuyasu, who more or less serves the same role and has the same story and character as Hidetake.
