Korenobu Yufu

Korenobu Yufu is a retainer of the Tachibana clan and leader of the Four Guardian Kings of Tachibana. He stepped down as Yufu family head in favor of his son to serve Dōsetsu. He fought in over 65 battles and served Muneshige even after the Tachibana were stripped of their rank.

Role in Games
Korenobu Yufu is commonly found fighting alongside the Tachibana at Kyūshū and Ishigakibaru. For the third game, in Yoshihiro's story, he must break down the Tachibana frontline by taking out Korenobu and Shigeie Uchida. During Motonari's return in his story, he must lure the Guardian King out of the Southern garrison.

In the expansion, at Odawara, on Kotarō's second objective, he must fight Muneshige, Korenobu and another Guardian King, Tsuresada Totoki. For Yoshimoto's kemari battle, he will appear against the Imagawa once Masamune is defeated.

In Samurai Warriors Chronicles, at Yanagawa, the player fighting for the Eastern Army must keep Korenobu and Shigeie from escaping.

In the fourth game, his earliest appearance is on the Shimanto River stage. On the Shimazu's siege on Iwaya and Tachibana castles, Korenobu, two others of the Guardian Kings and Shigeyuki ono stand guard at Tachibana Castle and must be taken out. In Kyūshū on the Land United story, the player must keep Korenobu safe from Tadamoto Niiro and Hisatora Ei. At Yanagawa, the player can choose to save him from Tahei Mori and Toshiyasu Kuriyama if they wish.

On the DLC East vs. West battle for the Eastern side, the player must keep him and the other Guardian Kings of Tachibana out of the Eastern Army camp.
