{{quote| ''"I, Shingen, will become a tiger ruling over heaven and earth!"''}}
 
Head of the Takeda from Kai Province, a [[Hot -Blooded]] old man whose fist sets things on fire. He is also known for his strategic genius too, being the rival of Uesugi "God of War" Kenshin. He has something like a father-son relationship with Yukimura. Wields a huge, mean axe on fire, and [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|is too awesome for one horse so rides two instead]].
 
He is known in ''Devil Kings'' as ''Red Minotaur''.
Line 14:
* [[An Axe to Grind]] : And is large enough to cause [[Blow You Away|tornadoes]] when it's swung.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Arm -Fold]]: Does this when he means business. Even during his death animation.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Usually hidden under his hat.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Has apparently trained himself to be strong enough to lift buildings over his head.
Line 23:
** [[Punched Across the Room]]: For Yukimura.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: A sign that you should ''run for your life''.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Almost as much as (if not more than) Yukimura in fact. It's enough to set the surrounding area aflame with manliness!
* [[It Has Been an Honor]]: As he prepares to finish Kenshin in the movie, he thanks him for all the years of worthy battle he provided him.
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: 'Washi'
Line 46:
** Which, to be fair, [[Fridge Brilliance|it may very well be]]. Manstravaganza, anyone?
** He tries to educate Yukimura to prepare him for the day he will take over his place as leader of the Takeda army. He's just a bit... eccentric about it.
* [[Up, Up, and Away]]: His OVA introduction. So wait, [[New Powers As the Plot Demands|when did Shingen learn to fly]]?
* [[Warrior Poet]]: After battle, Shingen tends to pay tribute to his fallen adversaries by reciting some poetry.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Rides two horses while standing on both saddles, axe being put down on their necks, and these horses can ''run on walls'', and Shingen ''defies gravity'' by standing still.
Line 56:
{{quote| ''"There is a time when a real man cannot back down, and that moment is now!"''}}
 
Takeda Shingen's most loyal vassal and [[Hot -Blooded]] to a fault, he charges fearlessly into battle with two spears...[[Rule of Cool|which he dual wields.]] He is also the rival of Date Masamune, [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|whose blue colors are a distinct contrast to Yukimura's red.]]
 
Goes by the name ''Scorpio'' in ''[[Macekre|Devil Kings]]''.
Line 85:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Happens in the anime {{spoiler|after Shingen is supposedly killed}}. Masamune and Kojuro are forced to knock some sense into him with a manly [[Rousing Speech]]. Also occurs in ''Samurai Heroes'' for the exact same reason. Ends in relatively the same way.
** Also in the second season of the anime, after he loses an important retainer (as well as half of his army) due to some bad decisions he had made.
* [[Historical Beauty Update]]: ''[http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sanada_YukimuraSanada Yukimura.jpg |Really?]]''
* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: With Masamune, Sasuke and sometimes even Shingen. Though like Masamune he's [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|shipped with practically every other male character]].
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Hell yes. One of his in-game lines even has him scream it at the top of his voice to get himself worked up.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]: Much more prominent in the anime.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Yukimura's not really stupid - on the contrary, he's well spoken and educated - but he's 100% direct, doesn't think before he acts, and seldom seems to learn from his mistakes.
Line 116:
** In a seiyuu event where they had to switch roles for a few scenes, the seiyuu who had to voice Yukimura said they now felt sorry for Hoshi.
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: In the anime, he firmly supports Sasuke's "engagement" with Kasuga. This is strange considering his normal reaction to any mention of love, but then again Sasuke is the closest thing he has to a friend.
* [[Short HairwithHair With Tail]]: An odd combination done with spiky [[Shounen Hair]] and a sleek ponytail.
* [[Skilled but Naive]]: Pretty much defines him in terms of competence. The reason Yukimura's not considered one of the strongest opponents around is that while he has lots of potential, he simply hasn't had enough battle experience.
* [[Sticks to The Back]]: His spears, apparently.
