Shikanosuke Yamanaka (voiced by Yohei Azakami) – New Playable
The Amago family’s retainer. A cheerful young man with a frank personality. He met Mitsuhide when he was being attacked by Mōri during an arduous battle. From then on, he began to work alongside Mitsuhide while working to restore the Amago family to their former glory.
Hanbei Takenaka (voiced by Umeka Shouji)
A tactician who serves the Saitō family. While he appears very mild-mannered, Hanbei has unparalleled quick wits on the battlefield. He senses that Hideyoshi, his former enemy, has the potential to alter the future of Japan, so he decides to serve him to achieve that goal. He mentors Kanbei, his junior tactician.
Kanbei Kuroda (voiced by Masaya Takatsuka)
A tactician from Harima. He serves Hideyoshi, who recognizes Kanbei as a tactical genius. Despite looking very composed, he is in fact very competitive and hates to lose. He respectfully refers to Hanbei, the tactician who served Hideyoshi before him, as “Master.”
Kazuuji Nakamura (voiced by Ryouhei Arai) – New Playable
A Koga Ninja. After his former employer, the Rokkaku family, was defeated by the Oda family, he was picked up by Hideyoshi and now serves him. While he acts cold and brusque, he has a deep sense of obligation towards Hideyoshi for saving him. He trained to become a ninja with Mitsuki from their early childhood.
Sena (voiced by Haruka Terui) – New Playable
Yoshimoto Imagawa’s niece. She has an unyielding spirit and often encourages Ieyasu, but is also very affectionate and devoted to him. Her uncle, Yoshimoto, thinks the world of her and cares for her dearly. She later becomes Ieyasu’s wife.
