The ruler of the Date clan known as the One-Eyed Dragon. He is a cocky, ambitious warlord who tends to speak in a mixture of English and Japanese. He usually wields a single katana, but can store and fight with six swords at once (three in each hand, held between the fingers). He is also depicted in a rivalry with Sanada Yukimura. Besides that, Date's demeanor is surprisingly quiet, mild and thoughtful. Masamune is a bold and free spirit: he has a natural curiosity, as well as a stubborn person.
