Kennyo appears during Magoichi's story mode in Samurai Warriors. He is a reserved yet pacifistic individual who leads the remainder of the Ikko sect to oppose Nobunaga. However, his determination wavers when he sees some of his defenses faltering. In order to prevent more casualties, he decides to surrender to Nobunaga. Due to a previous and bloody experience with the Demon King, Magoichi will try to prevent this. In both story paths, Kennyo will swear loyalty to Nobunaga as a condition of surrender. His army also appears in Mitsuhides 2nd stage in Samurai Warriors & the army is led by Shoukei. Though he personally doesn't appear, the Honganji forces appear once more at Osaka Bay in Samurai Warriors 2.

  • In the game, Kennyo is the Chief Abbot of the Ikko monastery, and is depicted as a greedy and stocky man. With his religion, he makes a profit for himself, not caring about others. Being vain as well as greedy, he enjoys flexing and showing off his well toned body. He is also in a religious rivalry with Xavi and Itsuki. His temple of Ishiyama Hongan-ji is in Settsu Province. Like Midas, Kennyo has a great love for gold. In his level in Sengoku BASARA 2, there are many ways to steal a lot of gold from him. During his boss fight, he will resort to bribing the player's allies to turn against the player's character when his health is reduced to about a half. He does this by tossing handfuls of gold coins at them.
  • Kennyo (顕如) is a practitioner of the Jōdo Shinshū faith and the eleventh known abbot to inherit the temple, Honganji. He is famous for declaring Nobunaga as an enemy to religion (namely Japanese Buddhism) and ordered hordes of rural believers to oppose him. For over a decade, Kennyo and his followers posed a serious threat to Nobunaga. Kennyo's non-playable Samurai Warriors counterpart can be played by using a cheat disk for the first game.

  • Kennyo (顕如) is a practitioner of the Jōdo Shinshū faith and the eleventh known abbot to inherit the temple, Honganji. He is famous for declaring Nobunaga as an enemy to religion (namely Japanese Buddhism) and ordered hordes of rural believers to oppose him. For over a decade, Kennyo and his followers posed a serious threat to Nobunaga. The English localization of Koei games erroneously transcribes his name as Kennyo Honganji from his common character name in the games (本願寺 顕如, Honganji Kennyo); Honganji is not a family name so the Western name order would not actually apply. An approximate English translation of the same name would be "Kennyo of Hongan Temple". Kennyo's non-playable Samurai Warriors counterpart can be played by using a cheat disk for the first game. His Nobunaga's Ambition counterpart is ninety-sixth place in Gamecity's character popularity ranking for 2015. The Nobunaga no Yabou 201X poll for 4-star officers puts him in one hundred sixteenth place.

In the anime, he was killed by Mitsuhide Akechi alone, while Nobunaga and the Oda and Akechi armies were on standby.
