Masakage Yamagata

Masakage Yamagata is an officer of the Takeda clan and one of Four Guardian Kings of the Takeda.

Role in Games
In Samurai Warriors, he serves the Takeda in many battles. At Nagashino in Yukimura's scenario, he is scripted to die from Oda gunfire. However, if Shingen is present at Nagashino, Yamagata will survive the fighting. During Nobunaga's story, the Oda leader is given an objective to stop Yamagata from going around the barricades.

In Samurai Warriors 2, he is one of the cavaliers of the Takeda charging right for the Oda main camp, but in the Oda scenario, he is killed in the battle by Nobunaga.

In Samurai Warriors 3, Yamagata is with Yukimura when they first charge for the Oda main camp. Kanbei Kuroda and others stop and kill Masakage while Yukimura escapes.

In Kessen III, he works under Shingen as an enemy general for the Oda forces. Like in Samurai Warriors, he is scripted to die at Nagashino under Katsuyori.
