Nōhime
Unlike her role in history, Nōhime is usually portrayed as a femme fatale, in line with the traditional villainous portrayal of her husband, Nobunaga Oda.
- Her role in Sengoku Basara depicts a kind-hearted woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her husband's unity of the land, despite the fact that Nobunaga never cared about her. She wields a pair of guns (Ebony and Ivory from Devil May Cry), but her charge/prime attacks unleash a whole variety of gun weaponry.
- In Onimusha 3: Demon Siege she goes by the name of 'Vega Donna' and has been transformed into a demon woman to join her husband.
- Samurai Warriors depicts Nōhime as the "Viper's Daughter", a sadist, who wields a pair of retractable claws, adding this is her use of bombs to add range. In the first installment, her relationship with Nobunaga is considered bipolar, in which she is torn between her sexual admiration for him and her desire to kill him for her father's wishes. One of her endings show an attempt of murdering Nobunaga at his moment of weakness, but failed at the moment he wakes up. Samurai Warriors 2 has a less prominent role for Nōhime, as Nobunaga treats her instead like any other retainer but in a sense that she still loves him loyally throughout the game(although one of her lines states that she has "already tamed Nobunaga".) In Samurai Warriors 3, Nōhime's role is still less prominent, but she is alongside her husband in most of his battles. Her sadism is more emphasized here, as even when she is in danger, she expresses enjoyment. As in the first game, she has to make the choice between her loyalty to her father's wishes to kill Nobunaga or stay with her husband. Nonetheless, she assists Nobunaga to exterminate her family thought she feels that she has no purpose in the world afterwards. She attempts to assassinate Nobunaga later on, but retracts herself. Her ending shows her and Nobunaga willingly remain to their death in the burning Honnoji Temple (after Mitsuhide's revolt) while pleasantly accept to live in hell. She is also in a spinoff of Samurai Warriors called Samurai Warriors Katana. In Warriors Orochi, Lu Meng and Taishi Ci rescues her, and she joins Wu. In Warriors Orochi 2, she is reunited with Oda Nobunaga.
- A different view of Nōhime is presented in the game Kessen III. Under her childhood name of Kicho, she is presented as a chaste and innocent princess.
- Nōhime was portrayed by Japanese actress Miki Nakatani in the 1998 film Oda Nobunaga, and by Haruka Ayase in the 2005 sci-fi film Sengoku Jieitai 1549. Emi Wakui played Nōhime in the 2006 NHK drama Kōmyō ga tsuji.
- In the eroge Sengoku Rance, Oda Nobunaga Kazunosuke's deceased wife's name is "Kichou", other popular name of Nouhime.
- She appears alongside Oda Nobunaga in the manga Sengoku Strays.
- She is a playable character in Pokémon Conquest (Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition in Japan), with her partner Pokémon being Misdreavus and Mismagius.
