Sengoku Basara/Characters/Other Characters

Itsuki
"Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami/Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Janyse Jaud (Devil Kings)"

""I'm as energetic as they come, and I ain't never losing!""

A cute young girl leading a peasant rebellion with a Hammer gifted to her from the gods.

She is known as Puff in Devil Kings and speaks with a strong southern accent for some reason. -
 * Cry Cute
 * Cute Bruiser: Although she herself isn't that strong, her hammer sure packs a punch.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: After she defeats him, Masamune convinces her not to give up on her dreams, and shows her that not all samurai are evil. In Battle Heroes, he goes to rescue her from the Toyotomi and will take revenge for the village.
 * Drop the Hammer: Which she swings awkwardly.
 * Exposed to The Elements: Her outfit is hardly appropriate considering she's running around in sub-zero temperatures. There is no way she's not cold! However, it's all part of her appeal.
 * Genki Girl: "As energetic as they come"
 * Gaias Vengeance: Her hammer is apparently gifted to her from the gods, and a good amount of her techniques are snow-based.
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Glacier Waif: Has one of the slowest attack speed of all the characters.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: One of her attack options has her ditch the hammer and whale on the opponents with her fists. Similar to Masamune's Claws in that while she gets a new combo, she's unable to block.
 * Harmful to Minors: Saw her village burnt to the ground and people slaughtered, then got sucked into the horrors of war.
 * An Ice Person
 * Improbable Age: So why is a twelve year old girl the leader of a violent peasant uprising?
 * Improbable Weapon User: It's a freakin' giant mallet!
 * Instant Fanclub: They wear pink jackets and exist to scream her name.
 * Japanese Pronouns: 'Ora'
 * Little Miss Badass
 * Magical Girl: Some of her attacks, as well as her alternate costume, resemble this. She even has a wand as one of her weapons.
 * Missing Mom: Implied to be dead.
 * Only One Name
 * The Other Darrin: Following Tomoko Kawakami's death in 2011, she will be voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Precocious Crush: It's sometimes implied she has one on Masamune.
 * Put On a Bus: She isn't so much as mentioned in the third game. The manga seems to imply that Masamune convinced her to stop fighting.
 * Rebel Leader
 * La Résistance: Heads a peasant rebellion against the oppressive samurai.
 * The Rival: To Xavi, apparently...
 * Tohoku Regional Accent: Makes her sound rough, crude and somewhat boyish.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: Looks more silver than white in-game.

Imagawa Yoshimoto
"Voiced by: Kozo Shioya (Japanese), Brian Drummond (Devil Kings), Barry Yandell (anime)"

""Is my face so overwhelmingly refined?""

An influential, yet idiotic man, and a coward to boot, who lives in a flamboyant fantasy world. Essentially, everybody wants to kill him.

Known as Muri in Devil Kings. -
 * Dirty Coward: Will substitute mooks for himself, while he runs away.
 * Everythings Funkier With Disco: His basara involves him attempting some highly dangerous disco dancing.
 * Improbable Weapon: A giant folding fan.
 * Japanese Pronouns: 'Maro'
 * Joke Character: Between this and the one in the Samurai Warriors games it's easy to guess that the real Yoshimoto isn't the most highly regarded historical figure in Japan
 * Killed Off for Real: In the third game, supposedly for the sake of canon.
 * Light'Em Up
 * Too Dumb to Live: Did he really think it would be a good idea to take on Masamune AND Yukimura?
 * Upperclass Twit: Constantly talks about how he's from a good family and Blue Blood and all that, while being one of the weakest characters and a bumbling idiot at that.
 * Verbal Tic: Says "oja" a lot.

Hojo Ujimasa
"Voiced by: Tadashi Miyazawa (Japanese), Louis Chirillo (Devil Kings), Jerry Russell (anime), William Knight (Samurai Heroes)"

""I can hear it! I can hear the laughter of defeat approaching!""

The old master of Odawara Castle and habitual employer of Fuuma Kotaro. Is constantly overshadowed by the others Badass characters around him. Becomes a playable character in Utage.

Known as Orwik in Devil Kings. - ""What's the problem? Why am I angry? I'll tell you why! Why can't I be the one who wins?!""
 * Butt Monkey: He even lampshades this in his boss opening in 3, where he states that he just wants to win once.


 * Crack Oh My Back: His bad back and its habit of giving out at the worst possible moment is a Running Gag.
 * Didn't Think This Through: One of his main flaws. When accused of kidnapping Ieyasu in SB3 and having Tadakatsu and the Tokugawa army knocking his door down, Ujimasa's response is to send Kotaro out to explain (for those of you who haven't read that far yet: Kotaro is mute). It works altogether less-than-stellar.
 * Giving Up the Ghost: When he sneezes, his spirit momentarily leaves his body, then goes back in.
 * Grumpy Old Man: Admittedly he has a hard time of it.
 * An Ice Person
 * Japanese Pronouns: 'Washi'
 * Joke Character
 * Lethal Joke Character as of Utage
 * Large Ham
 * Mighty Glacier: He can however boost himself into a Lightning Bruiser.

 * Nice Hat: Can wear a moxibustion hat to speed up his movements.
 * Rambling Old Man Monologue: Loves reminiscing about the days of yore to whoever happens to be there at the time.
 * Shout Out: If he performs said move while on his 'Past Glory' mode. He ends up surfing on his spear ala Tao Pai Pai.
 * Super Mode: His Past Glory mode, which, like Masamune's Six Claws stance, give him a more powerful moveset in exchange of being unable to block.
 * Throwing Your Spear Always Works: One of his new moves in Utage has him throw his spear. He forgets to let go and ends up flying after it.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Gameplay-wise in Utage, where he can actually cause pretty bad damage.
 * Twelve Blades on a Stick: His weapon is literally a bunch of swords stuck at the end of a pole. Needless to say, he wields it with difficulty.

Fuuma Kotaro


""...""

A mysterious legendary Ninja. He usually, but not always, works for the Hojo clan. Known specifically for being very good at his job, if a little ruthless (he doesn't seem to care who he kills as long as he completes his mission). He never speaks and his face is never shown, so it's hard to tell what he's thinking. He's back in Sengoku Basara 3, siding with the Eastern Army since the Hojo allied with them. He even went as far as saving Tsuruhime, but it's still not clear what his purpose is. -
 * Ascended Extra: From NPC to PC in the second expansion.
 * Badass
 * Badass Arm Fold: His idle animation.
 * Bling of War: His belt, visor, shoulder guards and graves are intricately engraved with Flower Motifs.
 * Blow You Away
 * Career Killer: It seems his primary function (aside from delivering messages and stealing valuables) is an an assassin.
 * Dual-Wielding: Wields two ninja-to.
 * Enigmatic Minion: Who he's working for varies from time to time, but particularly under Hisahide.
 * Facial Markings: Red markings on his cheeks and chin, which appear to be paint seeing as how they change with his outfits. In one case the stripes look like flames and he is given demonic fangs.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: His left sleeve is inexplicably absent.
 * Feather Motif: Black feathers surround him wherever he goes. It's never explained why, however he is sometimes depicted with black wings and rumored to be a demon.
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Fuuma Shuriken: It's only natural he should wield one considering that they're named after him. Used a pair as an NPC, and a single much bigger one later on.
 * Hidden Eyes: Hidden beneath his helmet (though he does have eye slits).
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: Somewhat implied in his devotion to protecting Tsuruhime, and the fact that he comes to Ujimasa's rescue despite the old man's pleas to retreat. Although, he could just be thinking about his money...
 * I Can Still Fight: When defeated, he'll try to stand up and continue fighting. He looks almost surprised to realise he's been hit.
 * It's Probably Nothing: Because of his speed most people just assume it's the wind passing through.
 * Legacy Immortality: It's said that he's.
 * Mysterious Protector: Becomes this for Tsuruhime for some reason.
 * Ninja
 * Flash Step: His main asset, which borders on teleportation.
 * Walk On Water
 * Nonverbal Miscommunication: As he literally only either stares blankly or kicks ass, it's no wonder Ieyasu thought he was initially an enemy.
 * Punched Across the Room: Happens to him in the anime, when Takeda Shingen megaton punches him in the face. He probably would've flown a lot further if there hadn't been a wall in the way...
 * Reverse Grip
 * The Spock: Whether he actually has feelings or not, he shows no emotion whatsoever.
 * The Voiceless: It's implied he's mute, but not explained why.
 * Visible Silence: "............" is his only reaction.
 * Winged Humanoid: As noted above, he is given four black wings in one of his outfits from Heroes.
 * Winged Humanoid: As noted above, he is given four black wings in one of his outfits from Heroes.

Matsunaga Hisahide
"Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Japanese) Kent Williams (anime)"

""It is good to have desires... no matter how you look at it, all men will die soon.""

Known as the "Villain of the Sengoku Era" and rightly so. A very shrewd man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, he's responsible for most of the bad karma hanging around in Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes. Seems to like kidnapping people and tying them to pillars. Utage will mark the first time he's been playable. -
 * Alas Poor Yorick: At one point in the anime he plays around with 's skull while monologuing. Apparently planned to make it into a sake cup.
 * Antiquated Linguistics: In the anime dub.
 * Ascended Extra: Hisahide is a fan favorite despite not being playable in his appearance. His inclusion in Utage as a playable character is met with MUCH praise.
 * Beard of Evil: Like Nobunaga, he has some evil facial hair.
 * Better to Die Than Be Killed: He'd rather blow himself up than give his enemy the pleasure of offing him.
 * But for Me It Was Tuesday: In the anime, claims to have no memory of the incident that proved Hideyoshi's Start of Darkness. Then again, he could've just been screwing with Keiji.
 * Card-Carrying Villain
 * Cool Sword: Among the various Improbable Weapon Users of this universe he uses a long, fashionable longsword.
 * The Collector of the Strange: Collects various different antiques and famous artifacts, but also collects people.
 * Taken to an extreme in Utage, where he's now collecting metaphysical objects like bonds and names, like his and
 * Combat Pragmatist: Strong opponent poses a threat? Poison them!
 * Companion Cube: His beloved teapot, named 'Hiragumo'. He even talks to it and carries pieces of it around with him after it shatters.
 * Crazy Prepared: Blows himself up when ultimately bests him in the first season of the anime...
 * Dramatic Pause: He speaks very sloooowly and often leaves overly long gaps in between words or even syllables.
 * Evilly Affable: He's polite, sophisticated and genteel. Shame he's such an ass...
 * Evil Laugh
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: His alternating black, white and yellow outfit.
 * Finger Snap Lighter: The claws on his left hand serve this purpose.
 * For the Evulz: He doesn't have a whole lot to gain by ruining everybody else's life or stealing their things, as he believes nothing lasts forever. He's just doing it because it's fun and because he can.
 * Guyliner: The latest renders of him seem to sport this quite thickly.
 * Hannibal Lecture: Gives one to Yukimura in the anime (while playing with skull for added effect). It doesn't quite stick, but nevertheless it helps break Yukimura's confidence.
 * As a playable character he's spewing them out left, right and centre.
 * Having a Blast
 * Historical Villain Upgrade: While the historical Hisahide was a villainous trickster, he certainly wasn't as much of a dick as he is here.
 * I Have Your Mooks: He kidnaps several Date soldiers in order to get his hands on Masamune's swords. Also, he was bored.
 * Japanese Pronouns: 'Watashi'
 * Katanas Are Just Better: Subverted: He carries one (a tachi specifically) but his real weapon is actually a straight longsword.
 * Leitmotif: In the anime he has a pretty awesome, if rather eerie, theme that follows him whenever he appears.
 * Manipulative Bastard: He's the reason Hideyoshi became Drunk With Power and . He also saps Masamune's will to fight and almost drives Kojuro to suicide.
 * Neck Lift: One of his moves in Utage consists of lifting the struggling character by the neck one-handed before immolating them. He picks up Ieyasu this way in story mode.
 * Nietzsche Wannabe: Constantly waxes about how fleeting and transient the world is and at the end of the day everything and everyone is just a disposable object that will eventually vanish into obscurity.
 * Nonchalant Dodge: He moves extremely quickly but makes it seem like little effort.
 * Ominous Walk: The only character who can walk as well as run. Looks like he's just taking a leisurely stroll through the battlefield.
 * Playing With Fire
 * Kill It With Fire:
 * Skunk Stripe: Several, probably due to aging.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: Happens a lot when he's around, probably as a reference to the historical Hisahide's death (he's said to have blown himself up, becoming Japan's first ever bomb victim).
 * Suicide Attack: How he dies in the anime. Also a case of Better to Die Than Be Killed.
 * In Utage, his death animation has him blowing himself up.
 * Wicked Cultured: He's erudite with gentlemanly manners, very knowledgeable about these priceless artefacts he collects and genuinely appreciates them aesthetically. Also seems to be a Buddhist.
 * With My Hands Tied: Specifically, he always keeps one of his arms behind his back, only using it for snapping or choking.
 * With My Hands Tied: Specifically, he always keeps one of his arms behind his back, only using it for snapping or choking.

 * Walking the Earth: Travels far and wide in his search for strong opponents.
 * Wild Card: He's technically a Ronin and doesn't answer to anyone, doing things his own way.

 * Anticlimax Boss: He is the last boss in Musashi's story mode, so he must be hard, right?

""Let the bell toll for the proud Saika Faction! Soon, you will know the superior strength we possess!""

A new playable character in SB3. The third leader of the Saika Ikki, a group of gun-toting mercenaries and... apparently female. Seems to be the Spiritual Successor to Nouhime. A strong and independent woman with great pride and honour, she has relationships with many other characters in the series. - ""Oda Nobunaga, I will fill you up with lead and send you back to hell!!""
 * Action Girl
 * Anachronism Stew: Even for this game. Machine gun? Heat seeking rocket launcher? One of her Super Arts involves calling in air support!
 * Animal Motifs/Animal Theme Naming: Her skills and weapons are named after birds. She also has a habit of giving people bird nicknames.
 * Badass: Oh is she ever.
 * Badass Boast


 * Bare Your Midriff and Sexy Backless Outfit
 * Blood Knight: War is the Saika's way of life, as she will never fail to remind you. However she does admit it's a harsh and undesirable one.
 * Chewing the Scenery: When facing Nobunaga... boy oh boy, Maggie's having a hell of a time screaming on how she's going to kick his ass back to Hell...
 * Cool Big Sis: To Tsuruhime.
 * Dope Slap: Punches Motochika on the head and tells him to get a grip during his Heroic BSOD. It's really kinda adorable.
 * Fiery Redhead: She's calmer than most, but definitely fits when she gets her Action Girl on.
 * Fingerless Gloves
 * Gender Flip: Through loophole exploitation; the three men historically known to have used the name Magoichi Saika appear as officers in her stage
 * Glass Cannon
 * Gun Fu: One of her skills involves spin-kicking her opponent upwards then shooting them full of holes while they're still airborne. And that's just one of them.
 * The Gunslinger: Type B - The Vaporizer and Type C - The Woo.
 * Hired Guns: Has worked for both the Oda and the Toyotomi in the past. Neither ended well (Toyotomi's reasons are unknown but Nobunaga ).
 * Hot Amazon: At least for Keiji, who falls in love with her immediately after she delivers a flying kick to his face. Masamune also admits that her strength and attitude are major turn-ons.
 * Hyperspace Arsenal: She carries enough things that go boom in Hammerspace to equip a small infantry platoon.
 * Japanese Pronouns: Interesting example, she always uses the plural pronoun 'warera', since the Saika see themselves as one individually and collectively.
 * Lady of War: Her moves are dynamic but at the same time extremely graceful.
 * Male Gaze: The shots of her in the game opening are pure, unabashed Fan Service.
 * And when Keiji meets her, the camera zooms straight in on the first three places that catch his eye: boobs, belly, and butt. It happens again at the end of his story when he's "checking for injuries".
 * Macross Missile Massacre
 * More Dakka: She carries six pistols strapped to her thigh (which she uses all at the same time), a shotgun, a machine gun and a rocket launcher.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Not as blatant as Kasuga, but Maggie sure as hell is fanservicey.

 * Of Corsets Sexy: And she apparently keeps it on with sheer willpower.
 * Playing With Fire
 * Ship Tease: With Keiji, who is madly in love with her but, depending on which path you choose, still has far to go. Surprisingly quite a bit with Motochika too.
 * Showgirl Skirt: Makes her outfit look more feminine and elegant. And swishes dramatically in the wind.
 * The Stoic: Normally appears serious and unflappable, and speaks with an almost robotic tone. She doesn't even blink when Mitsunari puts his sword to her throat.
 * Not So Stoic: Shows obvious terror when Nobunaga comes back and has a hard time calming herself down.
 * Stuff Blowing Up
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: Has a much softer side underneath her cold exterior, which she only keeps up due to her position.
 * Throw Away Guns: Her pistols are this. They can even cause damage if they hit enemies when she throws them.
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: Has a much softer side underneath her cold exterior, which she only keeps up due to her position.
 * Throw Away Guns: Her pistols are this. They can even cause damage if they hit enemies when she throws them.

Kobayakawa Hideaki
"Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese), Tony Oliver (English)"

""Oh no, you shouldn't count on me!""

New NPC introduced in SB3. He is a young and cowardly relative of the Toyotomi, who famously betrayed Mitsunari at Sekigahara. Afraid of war, he seeks advice from the monk Tenkai and his guardian Motonari, unaware that he is little more than an intrument to their plans. Likes gourmet food and preparing hotpot. -
 * Ascended Extra: Becomes a PC in Utage.
 * Animal Motifs: His helmet and the giant saucepan on his back make him resemble an atlas beetle, which are highly prized in Japan.
 * Apologises a Lot: Sometimes tries to stand up for himself, only to fall to the ground and start begging to be spared.
 * Big Eater: Prefers to eat the stress away...
 * Butt Monkey: Everyone treats him horribly. Aside from Ieyasu (who still has Tadakatsu shoot artillery cannons at him, to ensure that he betrays Mitsunari).
 * Motonari and Mitsunari though are the worst offenders.
 * Confusion Fu/Fighting Clown: In Utage, he fights with a combination of his own clumsiness and weaponizing his eating habits.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy: Baffling as it sounds, when he's not being a gutless coward there are moments he's so cute it's painful.
 * Dirty Coward: It's hard not to sympathise with him a bit, since he's surrounded on all sides by people much stronger than he is bullying him into fighting for them, and only wants to eat his hotpot in peace. However he does himself no favors by acting self-important, and is so pathetically weak and indecisive he becomes a burden to everyone else.
 * Edible Bludgeon: Can throw vegetables as weapons.
 * Extreme Doormat: So much so that Motonari actually walks over him in one scene. In high heels no less.
 * Fragile Flower: A male example, played for comedy. He cries at the slightest provocation, but it makes him more annoying than Moe.
 * Frying Pan of Doom: Fights with the wok he uses for cooking.
 * Get Back Here Boss
 * Goddamned Boss: He's a pain in the ass to dispatch in Samurai Heroes thanks to the fact he rarely uses basic attacks, instead almost exclusively using an "attack" where he pinballs around randomly on his back. The move is loudly telegraphed but has such high priority it's almost impossible to interrupt, can't be stopped prematurely, knocks you airborne while only doing pitiful damage, and ends with one last shockwave that will just give him time to start it over again. He'll do this every time he escapes from a combo, dragging to fight with him out for way longer that it has to.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door: Pulls one of these at Sekigahara, though he's not given much of a choice since Tadakatsu is firing cannons at him.
 * . He's but his own failure to realize that  causes him to be a Unwitting Pawn.
 * Homoerotic Subtext: He really really looks up to Kojuro-san.
 * Horrible Judge of Character: How does he not realise Tenkai does not have his best interests at heart?!
 * He realizes it in the movie when.
 * I Am a Humanitarian: One of his Special Arts involves having a dream sequence where he imagines his enemies to be either vegetables or lobsters. After whacking them with wooden spoons, they're all gathered into a giant wok where he... Indulges himself.
 * Japanese Pronouns: 'Boku'
 * The Klutz: About 80% of his moveset consists of falling over.
 * Lethal Joke Character: Despite the above method of attack, he's a great crowd-clearer.
 * Mistaken for Badass: Thanks to Tenkai, most of the characters he meets during his story think he's some legendarily strong warrior and want to fight him.
 * Odd Friendship: With Tenkai, who Hideaki seems to genuinely consider a friend and care for.
 * Only Known By Their Nickname: Like Yoshitsugu, he's known by his court title "Kingo" to almost everyone in the Japanese version.
 * Playing With Fire
 * Screams Like a Little Girl
 * Selective Obliviousness: During his story mode it takes him so long to catch onto the situation he becomes borderline Too Dumb to Live.

Mogami Yoshiaki
"Voiced by: Tetsu Shiratori (Japanese), Christopher Smith (English)"

""There are none in this world that compare to me, the renowned, the feared, Mogami Yoshiaki!""

Yet another NPC introduced SB3. He is the daimyo of Ushuu and Masamune's uncle, though they dislike each other. An extremely pompous man who seems to think he's number one, fabulous and likes to get his men to look fabulous and well-cultured. Has a funky moustache and wields a rapier. Likes tea. -
 * Annoying Laugh: A high-pitched "Ahahaha!"
 * Ascended Extra: Becomes playable in Utage.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Combat Pragmatist/Confusion Fu: His fighting style is based mostly upon using feints, counterattacks and generally being unpredictable. Think a less complex version of Dampierre.
 * Cunning Like a Fox: Describes himself as such. In the English version, he's called as a weasel instead.
 * One of his Super Arts involves making a tornado out of a fox-like effigy of his own face.
 * The Dandy: Ironic, considering he's much less attractive than most.
 * Dastardly Whiplash: If only he had a top hat...
 * Defensive Feint Trap: One of his techniques has him groveling on the ground for forgiveness only to counter-attack when hit.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: He refuses to give his key back, simply because the latter called Yoshiaki's pet hawk "stupid".
 * Entitled Bastard: Thinks that, after causing Masamune so much trouble, he should consider it an honour that Yoshiaki wants to team up with him.
 * Everything's Better With Spinning: His final attack causes a huge, tornado-shaped blizzard.
 * Evil Uncle: He plans to usurp Masamune's province first chance he gets.
 * Feathered Fiend: His falcon, Starlight Starbright, which seems to go out of its way to troll Kanbe.
 * An Ice Person
 * Identity Amnesia: After landing head first in the Nation of Xavism, Yoshiaki loses his memories and styles himself a guardian angel. Sorin buys it.
 * I Surrender, Suckers: One of his moves involves insincerely pleading for his life before delivering a wicked strike.
 * Japanese Pronouns: 'Wagahai'
 * Look Behind You: One of his new moves.
 * Martial Arts and Crafts: Can carve ice sculptures of himself around opponents.
 * Not-So-Harmless Villain: He was the one who
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Essentially his fighting style, especially in Utage, where he has such moves as Look Behind You, playing dead, and pretending to stumble before attacking.
 * Overly Long Name: Has a habit of giving his pets, weapons and attacks these in the Japanese version.
 * Royal Rapier: Which he claims is much heavier than it looks.
 * His later weapons include a much thicker sword and a lance covered in ice.
 * Running Gag: His story mode has him being punched/thrown/fired out of a cannon, becoming a Twinkle in The Sky and flying (sometimes across the whole country!) toward his next destination.
 * Sissy Villain: When it comes down to it he's really not that brave.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: He's almost impossibly arrogant, despite how he always fails pitifully, going on and on about how wonderful and amazing he is and how everyone loves him (when they clearly don't).
 * Spot of Tea: Will even offer it to his enemies.
 * Terms of Endangerment: Calls Masamune "my dear boy" and other fond names, concealing their dislike of each other.
 * Twinkle Smile
 * Upperclass Twit: What his persona seems to be based on, due to his high-and-mighty mannerisms.
