Daughter of Ujitaka Narita, she serves under Ujiyasu Houjou. A rather tomboyish girl with interests at martial arts and exceptionally strong and HotBlooded, which can cause several other girls to tease her as being either unfeminine, or likened to a bear, much to her chagrin.

She fights with a whipsword and the Thunder element.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Her swords are named after dragons, and her unique weapon is named {{Orochi}}.

%%* BadassAdorable

%%* ZettaiRyouiki

* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: [[spoiler:She earns the title ''cutest girl in Japan'' in Gracia's story mode in the expansion. Also gaining a more self-confident trait.]]
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A.[[/folder]]

-->Voiced by: Takahiro Fujimoto (Japanese), Creator/DanWoren (English), Cris George (English 2015 Anime), Oliver Krietsch-Matzura (German 2015 Anime)

* {{Expy}}: Design-wise, he's very similar to the portrayal of Hosokawa Tadaoki in ''Saihai no Yukue''.
** Also his hairstyle and bishonen face made him comparable to [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Jin Kazama]]. His moveset is similar to [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Jin Kisaragi]] so double the Jins.

* TheSouthpaw: Played with a bit, since he mainly wields his weapon on his left hand, but in one cutscene in ''3'' when talking with Kanbei he holds a twig he plays around with via his right hand.

%%* HairDecorations: In ''4''.

* WomanInWhite: Although being from Uesugi, it's not surprising.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: In ''3''.

%%** TomboyishPonytail / SamuraiPonytail

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Would you believe that he was an ''[[BadassGrandpa elderly]]'' generic officer in the second game?

* BodyguardCrush: Adores her lord, Hojo Ujiyasu. But then again, [[Franchise/MetalGear considering he's an expy of Big Boss]], you really can't blame her.

* {{Expy}}: Stubble? Check. Headband? Check. Raspy voice? Check. Blade? Check. Gun? Check. Explosives? Check. Smokes? Check. Close combat prowess? Check. Looks good without a shirt on? Check. Badassery? Check. Commands his own army? Check. Manliness so unbearable it hurts? Check. Ladies and gentlemen, [[Franchise/MetalGear Big Boss]] is in the house.

* AnimalMotifs: Tigers again.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Kiyomasa isn't evil. However, worth noting that his historical counterpart was an absolutely brutal anti-Christian dude, doing things like ordering to cut down bellies of pregnant Christian women just to kill off their infants. Since ''SW'' didn't dare to make mention about Christianity, Kiyomasa ends up as a snarky but loyal and reasonable warrior with no comments about religions.
** Hilariously, while this hasn't come to the ''SW'' series, in other Koei mini-series that used the SW design like ''Hyakuman-nin no Sengoku Musou'', Kiyomasa's historical Christian opposition, Konishi Yukinaga, instead gets a [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Historical Jerkass Upgrade]] into a money-grubbing jerk, probably to make Kiyomasa look decent.

* SparedByAdaptation: Historically, he was not alive anymore during Battle of Oshi and Odawara Castle against Toyotomi Clan.

* AnachronismStew: Historical Motonari was not alive during Nobunaga's age. In third game, his storyline is FOCUSED on the battle against Nobunaga!

* CaptainErsatz: Very similar to [[Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes Yang Wen-li]] in both appearance and characterization.

* OlderThanHeLooks: Historically, he's already senile by the time of Nobunaga, and is even older than ''[[CoolOldGuy Shingen]]'', but he's portrayed as a middle-aged man. He even only looks slightly older than his grandson, Terumoto.

* SilverFox: In ''4'', possibly done on purpose to address the fact that his original design made him appear far younger than he really should have. It doesn't entirely fix the issue, but it helps somewhat. See OlderThanHeLooks entry further below.

* SparedByAdaptation: With her appearance in Hasedo for ''4'', you may think this trope is in play, but it's actually averted. Historically, she's really still alive at the time.

* SparedByAdaptation: Naotora usually did not outlive her son, and died in the same year as Nobunaga. In the fourth game, she lives up until at least Sekigahara and [[CompositeCharacter taking some of her son's accomplishments]], like attacking Shimazu Toyohisa... [[spoiler:And unfortunately taking up her son's wound by Toyohisa's hands. The sparing can only extend so much.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Historically, he and Masanori have a ''very'' bitter and unhealthy rivalry with Mitsunari, hence why they end up opposing him which is recreated in ''2''. Since ''3'', they become friends with different ideals and Kiyomasa has ConflictingLoyalty while Mitsunari has UndyingLoyalty to Toyotomi. That said, Kiyomasa's true loyalty in real life remains with Toyotomi, not Tokugawa, like in the game.

* ADayInTheLimelight: As one of the three surviving characters after the initial assault in VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi 3, he gets to have a lot of impact on the early story.

** Her personality also has a lot of fanservice tropes built into her, being an easily embarassed MILF with a non-biological son makes a number fanservice tropes quite well suited for Naotora.

Daughter of Ujitaka Narita, she serves under Houjou Ujiyasu. A rather tomboyish girl with interests at martial arts and exceptionally strong and HotBlooded, which can cause several other girls to tease her as being either unfeminine, or likened to a bear, much to her chagrin.

* ZettaiRyouiki

* GenerationXerox: His son and Hanbei's son--Kuroda Nagamasa and Takenaka Shigekado, respectively--are also close friends historically like their fathers were. In the game itself (from ''3'' onward), Shigekado and Nagamasa are usually positioned near each other among Eastern Army in Battle of Sekigahara.

* OddFriendship: With Hanbei.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: All he wants is really peace for Japan.
** [[spoiler:It's to the point where in his ending in ''3'', he accepts his death inflicted by a dying Kiyomasa after his scenario of Osaka Castle. Also wants himself to get executed in ''Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3'' when he personally deems himself to be responsible for Hideyoshi's recent surge in being more oppressive than usual]].

* CoolOldGuy: And how! He's even overtaken Shimazu Yoshihiro in that regard.

* KnightInShiningArmor: He seems to be specifically created for this role [[note]]Historically, the Tachibana were vassals of Otomo Sorin, a warlord who was into Christain and Western stuffs, while Sorin himself is still not playable, the Tachibana's affiliation with him was mentioned. Muneshige's Western-style clothings and weapons, and cross-shaped sword beam seems to be a note to this[[/note]].

** BareYourMidriff: In ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi 3'' as DLC outfit as it's based on Zhenji's outfit from ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 7''.

* HairDecorations: In ''4''.

* HiddenDepths: Apparently.

* LethalChef: If anything, her cooking might leave less than desired. Kenshin [[NotSoStoic was positively shocked]] and nearly stopped Kagetora trying to eat something she cooked. He ended up nearly choking on it, but ended up praising her cooking, with subtle hints that he'd rather fake praises than [[IronLady incurring her wrath]].

* TranquilFury: See ArmorPiercingSlap above.

* ButtMonkey / ChewToy: He's always getting hurt in various comical ways, and everyone's reaction can be summed up with FacePalm. Though, also shown in [=WO3=], [[HiddenDepths he DOES have a noble side]], [[spoiler:especially when he found out Kiyomasa is ForcedIntoEvil]]

* AdaptationalBadass: The historical Takatora in all fairness, had a pretty bad military record. This version of Takatora however, can duke it out with the rest of them.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness[=/=]CharacterizationMarchesOn: Would you believe that he was an ''[[BadassGrandpa elderly]]'' generic officer in the second game?

* BrokenTears: In ''4'', [[spoiler:after Yoshitsugu is DrivenToSuicide]].

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Otani Yoshitsugu in ''4''.They both began their stories by serving the Azai.

** This is played out in his story mode in ''[=SW4-II=]'', [[spoiler:[[TheResenter he refuses to work with Hideyoshi due to the latter involment in Nagamasa's death]]. He works for Hideyoshi's brother instead and is very loyal to him]].

* ApologeticAttacker: Even when she doesn't attack you, she still [[ApologisesALot apologies a lot]].

* BreakoutCharacter: She has more appearances outside of ''Samurai Warriors'', being a GuestFighter in ''[[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round]]'' and the female representative of ''Samurai Warriors'' for ''VideoGame/WarriorsAllStars''. She is also one of the most popular characters as voted by fans in official popularity polls, helping fuel her constant appearances. It's no surprise that she gets a Deification form in ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi 4''. Because of this, she shares the same spotlight as Yukimura for being the mascot of the franchise.

* {{Catchphrase}}: She usually mentioned "Ii clan precept" as her way to boost her and others' confidence as given by her grandfather. Then, we find out in ''4-II'' DLC "Ii Family Values" mission, not all of these precepts were legit which made Naomasa wonder if these were just made up.

* ShipTease: See Takatora above.

* SuperMode: One of the eight characters to receive a Deification mode in ''Warriors Orochi 4''. Her form is based on Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty which fits her because her bodacious body. Her Sacred Treasure is called Nectar which is actually a blue goblet that store the nectar[[note]]In Greek mythology, nectar is the Greek gods' drink which would make them immortal[[/note]] and her deified Unique Magic releasing the cup's contents which summons flowers and hearts while doing TheBurlesqueOfVenus.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: In a way. While Munenori in real life could have been a perfectly good person, [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade popular culture has not been kind to the man, to say the least]]. In ''Samurai Warriors'', on the other hand, Munenori is a just, honorable and virtuous swordsman who wants the war to end. The only chink of this is that he's with [[ObviouslyEvil Hisahide]], but for the most part, he's being the NobleTopEnforcer to him.
