History Characters / SengokuBasaraTakedaClan

* CatchPhrase: "'''Burn, my soul!'''"

* {{Bishounen}}: Over time he's developed much more delicate features than some of the manlier characters.

* RatedMForManly

* {{Keigo}}: Yukimura is notable for his very archaic and humble speech patterns (unlike Masamune or Keiji). He addresses ''everyone'' with respectful [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics honorifics (such as "-dono")]] and punctuates his sentences with "de gozaimasuru" and "de gozaru", both very old and self-effacing versions of "desu". The only one he doesn't talk like that with is Sasuke, who is effectively his retainer, and he's been known to drop the keigo when he's supremely pissed.

* ShortHairWithTail: An odd combination done with spiky ShounenHair and a sleek ponytail.

* AnAxeToGrind : And it's large enough to cause [[BlowYouAway tornadoes]] when swung. The axe's appearance is based on an actual signalling fan used by the historical Takeda Shingen. Except of course the fan was not made of steel, and was a great deal smaller.

** ParentalSubstitute: He raised Yukimura from a young age and takes full responsibility for his training and upkeep.

** UnexplainedRecovery: So how did he beat that crippling illness? [[HandWave He's just that awesome]].
--> "You thought I was dead? HAHAHAHA!"

* BadassLongcoat: Gets one in the movie. At one point it [[TheCoatsAreOff comes off]].

* BadassInDistress: In season 2 Oichi's demon hands get a hold of him, and, not wanting to attack her, he spends some time being manhandled before eventually fighting them off. More importantly, it was a great opportunity to [[FanService have the demon hands roam over his naked torso]] while he [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything makes rather suggestive facial expressions]].
*** It happens again later on in the season when Motonari pins him to a giant mirror. He's almost burned to death before breaking free. And again with the groaning in pain...

* BreakTheCutie: Sort of, in the second season of the anime. Starting with losing to Masamune, he's sent on an important mission where his compassion and sense of honor leads him to make some bad decisions resulting in losing soldiers he's responsible for, leading to HeroicBSOD. Lampshaded by none other than Masamune who notes that purity and innocence won't get him too far in this era.
** Fortunately he seems to overcome it eventually and come out of it stronger and with new found self-confidence.

* LargeHam

* JackOfAllStats: Edging towards FragileSpeedster[=/=]GlassCannon. He has less attack and defence than Masamune and no ranged attacks, but his attack and movement speeds and his reach are higher and (in the third game) he has the ability to {{Combo}} near infinitely due to finishing all his ground attacks with a forward dash.
* MartialArtsHeadband: Flaps dramatically in the wind. Also plays an important part in the anime finale.
* MirrorCharacter: While the gallant, good-hearted Yukimura's alliance with Mitsunari might seem strange, they face similar situations in ''[=SB3=]''; their beloved masters dead or dying, responsibility thrust upon them, and Ieyasu (partially) to blame. In ''Tiger's Blood'', Yukimura reflects that Mitsunari is what he could have become if tipped over the edge, and feels duty bound to help him. Both of them are also incredibly honest and don't know how to give up.

* IHaveTheHighGround: In the anime, notably, at one point he stands balanced on the very tip-top of a tall pine tree.

* NiceHat: Very nice hat that can suck many {{Mook}}s at once into them.

* NiceHat: His helmet is covered in a long, red mane which has a tendency to dramatically flap in the wind. It also has a pair of huge horns.

* AlliterativeName

* [[spoiler:DarkAndTroubledPast]]: Implied. All we know is that '''[[AtopAMountainOfCorpses a lot]]''' of people died.

* {{Ninja}}

* BaldOfAwesome: Usually hidden under his helmet.

* CompositeCharacter: This version of Yukimura shares many traits with Shingen's RealLife son Katsuyori, such as: Shingen appointed him to lead the Takeda in his absence, his carelessness and tendency to be impatient, and him almost jeopardising the clan in ''Utage'' (Katsuyori almost led the Takeda to destruction at the Battle of Nagashino).
