Yukimura Sanada

Yukimura Sanada like Zhao Yun is the "poster boy" for the Samurai Warriors series usually being placed on the cover/manuals of the games.

Info
Yukimura throughout the game is mostly seen following the orders of Shingen Takeda. In the first Samurai Warriors, Yukimura has a strong frindship with Kunoichi, who follows him into many battles. After the death of Shingen, Yukimura begins to lose hope and feels he should die. In one of his endings, he is sitting around when Kunoichi comes and the two of them begin to fight a multitude of Sky Ninjas.

However, in his REAL ending, he is shown surrounded by many soldiers, and does the impossible by getting into Tokugawa's main camp. Tokugawa bestows him the title of one of Japan's greatest heroes after marveling at his feat in reaching the camp. However, at that moment, Yukimura falls due to exhaustion, and dies at the spot, with the last moments of the ending showing his spear pointed to the sky.
