One of Ieyasu’s most loyal retainers. He was not injured once in 57 battles. His notable exploits were evident at the retreat from the Battle of Kanegasaki, when he served in the rear guard as Shingen fought Ieyasu at the Battle of Mikatagahara, when Ieyasu crossed the Iga immediately after the Battle of Honno-ji, and in his undying devotion to Ieyasu. At the Battle of Komaki Nagakute, separated from Ieyasu’s main army, he fought fiercely with Tadakatsu’s troop against Hideyoshi’s army, thereby proving his inexhaustible bravery. He was praised for his qualities by allies and enemies alike.

His weapon is the legendary Iron Spear.
