Sakon's the type who gets called a natural—sharp instincts for both fighting and strategy, backed up by real skill. He's got a straightforward view of the world and genuinely cares about doing what's right, which means he's willing to switch sides if he thinks justice demands it, even if it costs him personally.
His relationship with Mitsunari is interesting because he sees the guy's talent clearly enough, but he's not blind to his flaws either. Unlike people who just complain about Mitsunari's rough edges, Sakon focuses on what he actually respects about him—though that doesn't stop him from taking a few jabs at Mitsunari's inexperience and occasionally naive judgment. His previous lord Shingen is different; Sakon genuinely reveres him as both a mentor and a strategist worth learning from. There's real admiration there.
When he's not caught up in military campaigns, Sakon's got a reputation for being a smooth talker around women. It's one of his better-known character traits—the guy knows how to enjoy himself.
