Goemon Ishikawa is a bandit of the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Historically, not much is known about his activities beyond his execution. In plays and literature, Goemon is heralded as a devilishly clever and lovable thief who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He is also fabled to be a renegade Iga ninja. His Samurai Warriors counterpart is last place in the Samurai Warriors 4 poll. The Nobunaga no Yabou 201X poll for 4-star officers puts him in twenty-ninth place together with Ujisato Gamō.
