The white of flesh, the white of bone, the worms will leave your soul alone
In the dark, the girl so bright, got up to see the day by night
Her fear in hand, her fear in heart, her fear did tear her soul apart
On and on the road does go, down into the world below
off you went to call the king, you wish to hear the Devil sing..."

* AnimalMotifs: Her skills and weapons are named after birds.

* IronicNurseryRhyme: "On and on the road does go, down into the world below... if you want to call the king, you wish to hear the Devil sing..."

* ActionGirl/LadyOfWar: Her moves are dynamic but at the same time extremely graceful.

* HiredGuns: Has worked for both the Oda and the Toyotomi in the past.

<<|CharacterSheets|>>

She appears in ''Sengoku Basara 3'', once again proving her EnsembleDarkhorse-ness. However, not only does she now use the Oda crest, she has discarded her naginata and utilizes only her demon hands. Her storyline was taken from the canon story (the death of Nagamasa) up until the point before she snapped, where she purposely lost her memories to avoid facing the extremely harsh reality and [[ExtremeDoormat is now obeying whoever gives her orders.]]

* BareFistedMonk: In ''3''.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: He not only summons archers to attack enemies, he can even use them as ''human missiles'' by knocking them towards the enemy.

A new playable character in ''Sengoku Basara 3''. The third leader of the Saika Ikki, a group of gun-toting mercenaries and... apparently a female. Seems to be the SpiritualSuccessor to Nouhime. A strong and independent woman with great pride and honour. Her motto is [[TheThreeMusketeers "all for one, and one for all"]].

* ActionGirl

* BloodKnight: "The scent of burning... it is the sweet scent that surrounds us".

* LadyOfWar
* MaleGaze: The shots of her in the game opening are pure, unabashed {{fanservice}}.

* TheGunslinger

* TexBaxter

* GenkiGirl

* TheArcher
* TheIngenue: If the description "lovely defenceless purity" is anything to go by.

Yet another NPC introduced ''Sengoku Basara 3''. He is the daimyo of Dewa and Date Masamune's uncle, though they seem to hate each other. A pompous-looking man who seems to think he's number one. Has a funky moustache and wields a rapier. Likes tea.

* CunningLikeAFox: Describes himself as such. He's lying.
* DastardlyWhiplash: He looks ''just like them''.

* SpotOfTea

[[spoiler:He returns in the third game, having escaped from hell with a set of new powers. [[OhCrap Well, that's just great.]]]]

** [[spoiler:LikeABadassOutOfHell]]

* [[spoiler:TraumaInducedAmnesia: It's revealed in the third game that following Nagamasa's death and her fall into darkness, she forced herself to forget all the terrible things that had happened.]]

Confirmed character for ''Sengoku Basara 3''. A convict who used to serve Hideyoshi, but was chased to the south and imprisoned by Mitsunari after he tried to seize power himself. Fights with his hands manacled plus a huge chainball attached to it.

* HellishPupils: For no apparent reason (maybe to add to his dragon image?).

* HellishPupils

!!Katakura Kojuurou

Tropes associated with Kojuurou:

* HypercompetentSidekick: To a degree. Kojuurou is far more level-headed and cautious than Masamune, and seems far more involved in the actual day-to-day running of his master's province. There's also the implication that he's stronger than Masamune, especially when he goes into berserk mode in his story in Heroes.

* PapaWolf: Dare to hurt Masamune-sama or his subordinates, and Kojuurou will destroy you.

* UnstoppableRage: After [[ManipulativeBastard Matsunaga Hisahide]] steals Masamune's swords, kidnaps some Date troops and injures Masamune, he sends [[{{Ninja}} Fuuma]] out to intercept Kojuurou. Kojuurou is so pissed off he enters "Berserk Mode" and proceeds to completely [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomp]] him.

* LargeAndInCharge: Easily the biggest character in the game. The anime takes this to extremes with having him nearly 4 times the size of Masamune.

* LightIsNotGood: He is a light elemental, but is evil, albeit quite [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned]].

* NobleDemon: Sort of. Hideyoshi may be ruthless to those who's against him. However, if they're supporting him, Hideyoshi treats them well. No wonder Hanbei and Mitsunari are slavishly loyal to him.
* ParrotExposition: Plays this to Hanbei in the anime.

!!Takenaka Hanbei

Tropes associated with Hanbei:

*** Not in the anime, where he commits suicide in face of imminent defeat by Kojuurou.

!!Ootani Yoshitsugu

!!Kuroda Kanbei

Tropes associated with Kanbei:

* TankGoodness: His weapon is a tank. With Zabii's face on it. Yes.

!!Fuuma Kotarou

Tropes associated with Kotarou:

* HiddenEyes: Hidden beneath his helmet... it's a wonder he doesn't walk into something.
* KillEmAll: Spends ''Heroes'' going round killing everyone he meets. First Hideyoshi, then Hanbei, then even fellow {{Ninja}} Sasuke and Kasuga!

* BrownEyes: Made to look red in some art. He also gives the best puppy-dog looks.

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Girls love his chest revealing vest... also his anime design and the newest releases of official figures aren't helping him much by exposing his pelvic bones.

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Basara 3'', [[SheIsAllGrownUp he is now grown up]], has a revamp in fighting style and is one of the first characters to be revealed, which is always a good thing in the ''Basara'' universe. To emphasise this further, he successfully pulled a coup against Hideyoshi, one of his former kidnappers, and has effectively beaten the tar out of him.

** It doesn't help at all that aside of his [[CrossdressingVoices female seiyuu]], in the games (at least 1 and 2) his lines are written in hiragana only, which gives him a decidedly feminine, but at the very least androgynous, aura. (Traditionally women used mainly or only hiragana in writing.)

* ViewerGenderConfusion: In the voice commentary of series 1 episode 9 sound director Iwanami Miwa says he actually asked game producer Kobayashi Hiroyuki if Kenshin was male or female, and he didn't get a straight answer. So apparently everyone, including the staff, just ''assumes'' he's male...

-->Voiced by: YukoKaida (Japanese)

Introduced in ''Sengoku Basara 2'', Hideyoshi is not the little monkey that other fictions portray him as. He's a frickin' gorilla-sized man, completely ruthless and will stop at nothing until Japan is conquered. However, behind his ruthless attitude, he harbors a goal to reinforce Japan and make it a strong and prospering nation, thus making him a WellIntentionedExtremist.

** And while for all intents and purposes he's an adult, in the anime Shingen addresses him as Takechiyo, his childhood name.
