Terumune Date

Terumune Date is Masamune's father and the 17th head of the Date clan.

Role in Games
Throughout the majority of the Samurai Warriors series, Terumune is already dead and Masamune is the clan leader. In Samurai Warriors 2: Empires, he serves under his father before his time as the clan leader.

Terumune is briefly seen in Masamune's opening cinematic in the third title. In a dream sequence, he is shown frantically struggling against his assailant moments before Masamune orders him to be shot down. Masamune continues to feel guilty for failing to save his father, driving him to vent through his depression at Ueda Castle. His death is shown again in the fourth title and serves as a driving force for Masamune's actions throughout the Tohoku chapter.
