Masamune Date

Young and ambitious ruler of the Date clan who seeks control of the land, Masamune is shown to be a rash, yet intellent leader. More the first, in fact some might describe him as slightly insane, though this could just be youthful recklessness. His appearance greatly differs in both appearance. In Samurai Warriors 1 he is shown to be a young boy in charge of an army, who for every battle interupts some important event( as in fighting both the Oda and Takeda at Nagashino, both Mitsuhide and Oda at Honnoji, see the pattern here). He gives himself the title "The One-Eyed Dragon", due to his having ripped out an infected eye at the age of 8 to quell rumors of weakness. As a weapon Samurai Warriors 1 masamune uses two boken, training wood blades. The closest thing you could call a friendship is him helping Keiji in his last stage. With the typical arrogance of a teenager, he calls everyone around him "Idiots". His ambition is to open Japan to foreign trade and to explore other lands. In Samurai Warriors 2 he changes drastically. While still young he is shown to be grown up, and rather tall. He has basically the same personality though. He also changes his weapon from two boken to a saber and two pistols (a result of his friendliness with foreign merchants), and refers to him as both a the dragon, and the "Prince of Pistols"
