Ootani Yoshitsugu

Японское имя:	寥星跋扈 （りょうせいばっこ）
Прозвище:	Gyōbu-shōyū (刑部少輔)

«I wish you nothing but misery» (Yoshitsugu Ootani pre-battle)

Kanji Translation: Rampant Lone Star
Seiyuu (voice in Japanese): Fumihiko Tachiki

Appearance wise, Yoshitsugu Ootani is a general working under the command of Mitsunari Ishida, though he seems to have a secret agenda with Motonari Mori at hand. He is often by Mitsunari's side to offer him advice or help him decide his next move.

Yoshitsugu suffers from leprosy and is completely wrapped in bandages to portray a trait in which he is historically famous for, something that has caused him to be shunned his entire life. Wanting others to experience the pain he has suffered, Yoshitsugu stands by Mitsunari's side and decides that Sekigahara is the place which will allow him to accomplish this.

His helmet also sports design elements of the Ootani crest, with butterfly-esque traits and his armor has a skeletal appearance to it, giving him a even more sinister appeal. He also rides a floating palanquin, again, to covey across his illness and his historical counter part. His palanquin isn't the only thing that mysteriously floats, as he uses several magical orbs to attack his foes. The orbs can grow in size and have a wide attack radius.

His bead-controlling attacks are ideal for crowd control.

Historical prototype:

Ōtani (Ootani) Yoshitsugu (1558 – October 21, 1600) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period through the Azuchi-Momoyama Period. He was also known by his court title, Gyōbu-shōyū (刑部少輔). He was born in 1558 to a father who was said to be a retainer of either Ōtomo Sōrin or of Rokkaku Yoshikata. He became one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's followers, participated in the Kyūshū, Toyotomi campaign, and was sent to Korea as one of the Three Bureaucrats with Mashita Nagamori and Ishida Mitsunari. Ōtani Yoshitsugu is well known in Japan for two main aspects: his leprosy, and his legendary friendship with Ishida Mitsunari.
