A legendary Sengoku warrior famous for standing against Tokugawa Ieyasu right to the bitter end. He fights with two cross-shaped spears—jūmonji-yari—and is known for his intense, passionate temperament. His loyalty to Takeda Shingen borders on fanatical, which basically defines his whole approach to life and combat.
Pop culture loves pairing him up with Masamune as rivals, and within his own clan, he's kind of the go-to guy for getting thrown into unnecessary fights. But he doesn't see it that way—for him, every brawl is just another chance to test his strength. That stubborn, eager attitude is probably why he became such an iconic figure despite (or because of) getting knocked around so much.
