Yukimura Sanada

* Appearance
* Profile

**Yukimura Sanada** (真(さな)田(だ) 幸(ゆき)村(むら), *Sanada Yukimura*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, and the main protagonist in the **Sengoku Basara** by **Hiroyuki Sawano Series**.

Yukimura is one of the poster boys for this series, along with **Masamune Date**. He's actually one of the most distinguished warriors in the **Sengoku Era** who opposes **Ieyasu Tokugawa** to the end. He wields two jūmonji-yari.

In **Yukimura-den**, he takes the role of the game's protagonist, and is playable for a brief period as his childhood self, named **Benmaru**.

## Personality

Yukimura's hot-blooded and "battle-crazy" character contrasts strongly with the Oushuu head's cool demeanor. In Yukimura's life battle is everything. His master and revered idol, to whom he's fanatically loyal, Takeda Shingen, is the commander of one of the strongest armies of the Sengoku. Shingen's method of educating Yukimura consists of punching him and giving him life lessons (always with battle metaphors). Probably because of this, Yukimura is incredibly naive and completely ignorant of anything related to the opposite sex, leading him to be made fun of by Maeda Keiji, cringe in horror at the Maedas' lovey-dovey antics, and have humorous conversations with his ninja subordinate, the lazy and aloof captain of the Sanada Ten Braves, Sarutobi Sasuke. Another remarkable quality of his personality, mostly shown in the anime, is also his respectful manner of speaking: always adding an honorific when addressing someone, e.g., -sama, or -dono.

Yukimura's way of fighting is 100% "frontal", one-on-one, with no tricks or cheating. His ideal is to walk the path of the warrior, and constantly searches for new possibilities to test his skills (preferably by battling Date Masamune), all the while supporting his master's goal to enter the capital and conquer the country.

It is revealed in Yukimura's blue path in Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes that despite Shingen being one of the more powerful leaders in the country, financially speaking the Takeda army is completely broke.

## Character Design

His height is tall and muscular. He has a long, pointed brown hair tied to him and a red headband on his forehead.

His upper body is dressed in a red rider's jacket, with the Sanada family crest Rokumonsen hung around his neck and white trousers with red flames.
