Hyakutake Tomokane (百武賢兼, ?–1584) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period through Azuchi Momoyama period, who served the Ryūzōji clan.
He fought many battles. His daimyō, Ryūzōji Takanobu, praised him for his bravery. He is regarded as one of the Ryūzōji Four Heavenly Kings (Ryūzōji shitennō – 龍造寺四天王), along with Narimatsu Nobukatsu, Kinoshita Masanao, Enjoji Nobutane (円城寺信胤) and Eriguchi Nobutsuna (江里口 信常).
Hyakutake Tomokane took part in the Battle of Imayama in August 1570. In that battle he commanded his own unit. Hyakutake Tomokane was killed, together with Takanobu, at the Battle of Okitanawate on the 3rd of May, 1584[1].
After Tomokane's death, his adopted son, Kenji Ishii, became the leader of the Hyakutake clan. He served the Nabeshima clan.
Hyakutake had its own distinctive family crest, which is named Kikyo Mon.
