## Introduction

**Sengoku Hime 2:**
He was originally a vassal of Ouchi Yoshitaka, but rebelled and became independent. Many of the generals who opposed Ouchi Yoshitaka, who was devoted to courtly culture and bought strange clothes, agreed with Haruken's ideas, and nearly half of the Ouchi territory was under Haruken's control.

**Sengoku Hime 3:**
He is bright, energetic, and lively, and is so far removed from the atmosphere of a military commander.
However, he is a very capable man, excelling in military prowess and is called the "Warlord of the Warriors of the West".
He loves warfare, but he is not very smart, so he leaves instructions to others.
He and Sagara Takemoto do not get along very well.

しかしその実力は確かで、武勇に秀でており「西国無双の侍大将」と呼ばれている。
戦が大好きだが、あんまり頭は良くないので指示は他の人に任せている。
相良武任とはかなり仲が悪い。

**Sengoku Hime 6:**
He is the head of the Sue family. He is extremely skilled in martial arts and is known as "the Warrior General of the West. He is not good at politics and is not good at thinking, preferring to be physically active. When he has an idea, he immediately puts it into action, and he is the type of person who shows it through his actions rather than his head. He has a friendly relationship with the Ouchi family and competes with Sagara Takehito, a vassal of the Ouchi family.

## Historical Information

Sue Harukata (陶 晴賢, 1521 – October 16, 1555) was a samurai who served as a senior retainer of the Ōuchi clan in the Sengoku period in Japan. He was the second son of Sue Okifusa, a senior retainer of the Ōuchi clan. His childhood name was Goro, and he previously had the name Takafusa (隆房).

In 1539, after his father Okifusa died of illness, he became the head of the Ōuchi Clan. Being an able retainer, he became known as the Samurai General Without Peer in the Western Provinces (Saigoku-musō no Samuraidaishō).
From 1540 to 1542, he worked as the general, replacing Ōuchi Yoshitaka, in the war with the Amago clan. However, when Ōuchi's troops lost heavily in 1542, Yoshitaka's interest in war faded, and he began to incline to cultural activities. Because of this, the civil official Sagara Taketō became close to Yoshitaka, and Harukata's relationship with Yoshitaka declined.
In 1551, Harukata succeeded in the coup against Ōuchi Yoshitaka, killing Sagara Taketō and leading Yoshitaka to commit suicide. The next year Harukata secured the control of the Ōuchi clan by making the adopted son of Yoshitaka, Ōuchi Yoshinaga (who was Ōtomo Haruhide, the half-brother of Ōtomo Sōrin), the head of the clan. At this time he changed his name from Takafusa to Harukata, as his master changed from Yoshitaka to Haruhide. Subsequently, he conducted a large military expansion, but this led to discontent among the retainers of the Ōuchi clan.
