Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
Strength; Though young, Yukimura has great physical strength.
Grand Fireworks; Enemies are blown away with a strike, using all one's strength.
Great Wheel; Consecutive thrusts like raging waves. The finisher blows enemies away. Can be performed in mid-air also.
Tiger Flames; A burning punch smashes the enemies.
Scarlet Sparrow Rising; Yukimura leaps high into the air, before lunging back down at the enemy in a stabbing motion, ablaze.
Crimson Lotus Kick; Yukimura thrusts his spears into the ground and spins midair, kicking either horizontally and vertically at will in a whirlwind of flames.
Blazing Fire Wheel; A frenzied flame dance burns surrounding enemies to a crisp.
Fire Run; A forward horizontal slash, sweeping and burning up enemies in front of Yukimura.

- Mortality; Though strong and young, Yukimura is only human and can be hurt and killed like any other.
- Youth; There is still a lot that he has not experienced, or knows of. A wise strategist can gain the upper hand on him.
- Naivety; He can be easily tricked or fooled.
- Leadership; He's not a very good leader yet, not strategist. His strengths lay in the battlefield and carrying out orders.
- Water; Obviously seeing as how many of his attacks are based in fire, water can put out those flames, or dampen them at least.

Personal Information
Personality:
Hot-headed, easy-going and a bit naïve young tiger of Kai. Loyal vassal of Takeda and enemy worthy of Masamune. His enthusiasm would be enough for an army. In contrast with many other Sengoku warriors his power and achievements does not affect his manners – he is polite and respectful even to his enemies. He wears six coins on a string tied around his neck – symbol of the Sanada clan. The clan’s castle is Ueda.
His hot-blooded and "battle-crazy" character contrasts strongly with the Oushuu's head cool demeanor. In Yukimura's life battle is everything. His master and revered idol, Takeda Shingen, is the commander of one of the strongest armies of the Sengoku. Shingen's method of educating Yukimura consists of punching him and giving him life lessons (always with battle metaphors).
Probably because of this, Yukimura is incredibly naive and completely ignorant of anything related to the opposite sex, leading him to be made fun of by Maeda Keiji, cringe in horror at the Maedas' lovey-dovey antics, and have humorous conversations with his ninja subordinate, the lazy and aloof captain of the Sanada Ten Braves, Sarutobi Sasuke.
Yukimura's way of fighting is 100% "frontal", one-on-one, with no tricks or cheating. His ideal is to walk the path of the warrior, and constantly searches for new possibilities to test his skills (preferrably by battling Date Masamune), all the while supporting his master's goal to enter the capital and conquer the country. His favourite food is dango and he like to eat sweet things.
His full name is Sanada Genjiro Yukimura. He addresses Takeda as "Oyakata-sama" ("Teacher"). He introduces his spears as "Ten, ha, zetsu-wo!" ("Invincible Spear, Conqueror of Heavens"). His battle cry is "Moeru waga tamashi!" ("Burn, my soul!")
History:
Yukimura has spent his entire life serving Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, as his right hand man. Recently, Shingen fell ill, and Yukimura was left in charge of the entire Takeda army. Entrusted with the future of the country of Kai, he is struggling with the pressure of commanding an army. However, he keeps forging onward with the help of Sarutobi Sasuke, his loyal ninja and leader of the Ten Sanada Braves. While facing many troubles and hardships both around him and within him, he is doing his utmost to lead the Takeda army to glory. He has a fierce rivalry with Date Masamune.

The sound of Yukimura's training echoed through the courtyard, puncuated only by the occasional pause to breathe. The sun beat down fiercely, blazingly hot, and yet that didn't put even a single dent in the young tiger's enthusiasm. Just a few days ago he had fought his eternal rival, Date Masamune, and it had lit a fire in the heart of the young man. A burning desire to become stronger, to remain the equal of the Dragon.
So here he was! Practicing and honing his skills with his spears, and trying to increase his endurance. A few of Sasuke's ninja's had agreed to help him train, and learn the flow of battle better. He was an accomplished fighter, the pride of Takeda, but he was still young, inexperienced. He had a long way to go yet, before he could consider himself truly an adept.
"Be careful not to overdo it, Yukimura." Sasuke called out idly, from where he was perched on the rail. The ninja was watching his young master train, casually suggesting advice as to where he could tighten up his defenses, and when to back off. Though Yukimura was strong, and more then enthusiastic, his ferverncy came at a price-- it was far too easy for him to injure himself in going past his limits. The heat of the sun wasn't really helping anything either. But still, as long as they were around to help and advise him, then everything went smoothly.
A short while later, Yukimura set down his spears, done training for the day. The sun was beginning to set towards the west, the evening calls of the birds ringing out through the area. A peaceful and content feeling enfused the area, all was calm and well for the time being. For once, the land was at peace for the time being, the wars raging in other parts of Edo far away and distant. This was a time of relaxation, a chance to renew one's strength and grow stronger before rushing off to the tide of battle once more.
"Let's celebrate a good day's training with dango and sake!" Yukimura cried out enthusiastically, as energetic as ever, even after having spent so much energy in training. But that was just the way he was. Even when he was exhausted to the point of barely even being able to continue going onward, he rarely showed it. One of his... charming qualities, still showing his innocence, and youthfulness. Chuckling, Sasuke jumped down beside him, a slight smile on his features. Yukimura was the same as always, and yet he couldn't say he'd ever want him to change.
