Nene
- Nene is a featured playable character within the Samurai Warriors series and acts as an ultimate replacement of Kunoichi. Being the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Nene respectively acts as his bodyguard and supporter in the persona of a female ninja, with almost the same moves as her predecessor, Kunoichi. Contrasting this is her special skills and her strange motherly personality, in which she refers to everyone (especially to her husband's retainers) as her "children". An example of her motherly personality can be found in one of her cutscenes, where she "lectures" her defeated enemies to make them get to know one another. In her ending, she kicks out Hideyoshi's other wives and concubines and helps Hideyoshi unite Japan. In her special side story, she brings the Toyotomi clan back together at Sekigahara. She is in a spinoff of Samurai Warriors called Samurai Warriors Katana. In Warriors Orochi, she works with Kunoichi against Orochi. Nene later joins Wei. In the sequel, she reunites with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In Dream Mode, she works with Yuan Shao and Zhu Rong in protecting a castle from falling.
- Nene appears in flashbacks in Sengoku Basara 2 in Keiji's story. It's implied that her husband killed her to achieve power. It is revealed later in the second season of the anime for Sengoku Basara, that the one who killed her was her husband Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Because he sought only power and a purging of all weakness, and seeing love as a weakness, he killed her in order to purge himself of it.
- Nene is a major character in Eiji Yoshikawa's novel Taiko ki.
- She is a playable character in Pokémon Conquest (Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition in Japan), with her partner Pokémon being Golbat and Crobat.
