Yoshimasa

Yoshimasa (ヨシマサ) is a fictional character featured in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War.

Role in Game
A mercenary from the Far East, Yoshimasa sometimes appears alongside Karen and Magnus. The protagonist may encounter him the first time while helping Magnus train a new squad. He also becomes a persistent opponent when the player takes on a mission to protect the armory of the English army.

His tenacity is further exemplified when he tries finding a lost item for one of his clients. It takes a report from the client himself to make him stop. During a clash against a massive group of English insurgents led by the spear horseman Cyrus, Yoshimasa stays behind to finish the job instead of retreating. This causes Karen to slap and chastise him for recklessly endangering himself. Fortunately, her outburst convinces him to respect his own life for the sake of others.

Personality
A loyal and steadfast man, Yoshimasa strives to uphold the code of the samurai despite being a sword for hire. His extreme diligence and disinterest in money befuddles his fellow workers including Karen who comes to care for him.
