Nobutsuna Sanada

Nobutsuna Sanada is a retainer of the Takeda, Yukitaka's oldest son, Masayuki's oldest brother and uncle to Yukimura and Nobuyuki. He was known for using a long sword. He defended Ueda Castle against Kenshin and became the Sanada head after his father died. He fought well at Nagashino until he was gunned down.

Role in Games
For most of the Samurai Warriors series, he is found at Nagashino, fighting before eventually dying alongside the Takeda Cavalry.

On the third game, Nobutsuna may be found on battles before Nagashino, such as Suruga alongside his nephew and Mimase Pass.

In Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada, Nobutsuna is commonly seen with his brothers.
