The ruler of the Date clan known as the Dokuganry? (One-Eyed Dragon). He is a cocky, ambitious warlord whose mannerism is very close to Dante of Devil May Cry's fame. He also tends to speak in a mixture of English. Usually wields a single katana, but he 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. Masamune is one of five previous generals (the others are Sanada Yukimura, Maeda Keiji, Ch?sokabe Motochika and F?ma Kotar?) in Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes to receive a three stage gaiden. His gaiden revolves around his elimination of Oda Nobunaga and his rivalry with Yukimura, though he does befriend him at some point.
