Yasumasa Sakakibara

Yasumasa Sakakibara is a loyal officer of the Tokugawa army and the father of Yasukatsu Sakakibara. He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa and is said to have been good friends with Tadakatsu.

Samurai Warriors
He is one of the Tokugawa warriors who fights against the Takeda at Mikatagahara and Nagashino in Samurai Warriors 2. Players controlling a Tokugawa character will cause him launch an ambush on the Asakura camp. Playing as Hanzo allows players to assist his back ambush while Ieyasu and Tadakatsu focus on the main Asakura force. In the Xtreme Legends expansion, Yoshimoto may kill him in battle along with the other guardians. For the third title, he helps the Oda side at Anegawa by helping take a key garrison in the region, and if the Tokugawa defend successfully, similar to the previous title, he will launch an attack near the Asakura camp.

Kessen
He is known as "Sakaki" in Kessen and he appears as a general for Ieyasu any time after Sekigahara. If the player continues to win Ieyasu's campaigns, he will only stay as long as the Battle of Harima and will be succeeded by his son, Yasu Sakaki. However, a continuous string of losses will have him stay beside Ieyasu as a stalwart veteran. In the event that Ieyasu loses Fuji, Sakaki and Ii will be two of the notable generals who volunteer to guard the rear flank at Hakone. Regardless of the results for the chase, he continues to stay by Ieyasu until the end.

Kessen III has him appear as a minor enemy general under Motoyasu in the Battle of Muraki. He leads an excellent spear unit in both titles.
