Honda Tadakatsu was one of Japan’s most legendary samurai warriors, a trusted general of Tokugawa Ieyasu who fought through the Sengoku period, Mikatagahara, Nagashino, Komaki and Nagakute, and Sekigahara. This Japanese history documentary reveals the true story behind the samurai known for his deer-antler helmet, Tonbogiri spear, battlefield courage, and legendary record of surviving dozens of battles.
Who was Honda Tadakatsu, and why did even his enemies respect him? From his early life in Mikawa Province to his service under Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tadakatsu became one of the most famous samurai of the Sengoku era. His story takes us through some of the most important battles in Japanese history, including the Battle of Anegawa, Battle of Mikatagahara, Battle of Nagashino, Komaki and Nagakute, and the Battle of Sekigahara.
This documentary explores Honda Tadakatsu’s real historical record—not just the legend. We examine the famous stories surrounding his Tonbogiri spear, his deer-antler helmet, his supposed 57 battles without serious injury, his role in protecting Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the famous encounter with Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s army near the river during the Komaki and Nagakute campaign.
You’ll also discover how Tadakatsu rose from a young warrior in Mikawa to one of Tokugawa Ieyasu’s most trusted retainers, how he survived the disastrous Battle of Mikatagahara, fought during the rise of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, served at Sekigahara in 1600, and eventually became a powerful daimyo before his death in 1610.
This is the story of Honda Tadakatsu—the samurai warrior remembered as one of the most formidable fighters of Japan’s Sengoku period.
Watch until the end to discover what history can actually prove about the legend that Honda Tadakatsu fought more than fifty battles without suffering a serious wound.
