The blood of Takeda pumps through my heart!
—Yukimura Sanada pre-battle
Yukimura Sanada is one of the main characters of the franchise alongside his rival, Masamune Date. His story in Samurai Heroes starts off when the leader of his army and the man he greatly idolizes, Takeda Shingen, falls ill. Being Takeda's strongest general, his skills are put to the test when he is forced to lead his master's forces during the great war between the Eastern and Western armies. Despite his strong will and courage on the battlefield, Yukimura proves to be a bit incompetent as a leader; unlike his rival Masamune, Yukimura prefers to take a straight path to victory, no tricks allowed. He wields twin spears (a set of Jumonji Yari) on the battlefield, and despite his hot-headed and competitive nature, Yukimura never fails to be a good opponent for the Dragon of Oshu. His affiliation to Takeda has earned him the nickname "Tiger of Kai".
