Quotes:
Game Note:
Matsu Goemon's stats are good for 7 gold, although he cannot come off the stronghold like many 3 Force 3 Chi personalities of other clans. His ability can be useful, either in defense against inevitable attack next turn, or if no one else is out, place a follower on him so the Palace of Otosan-Uchi's ability doesn't go to waste. However, his main weakness is his 6 honor requirement, perfectly acceptable for the Toturi's Army stronghold, but for players using the Palace he isn't worth the risk. His other defect, the inability to bow for the Favor isn't very restricting at all, since he is too big to be spared for that job. In general, Mirumoto Hitomi is a better deal for a medium range hitter, although Goemon is still a viable choice for the old stronghold.
Story Note:
Matsu Goemon fought with Toturi during the Clan Wars, one of the few Lions who understood that to protect the Empire, the Emperor must be destroyed. He remained loyal to Toturi during his short reign and loyal to his army in his absence.
