Satou Tsugunobu

Tsugunobu Sato was a retainer of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, and was a close samurai friend of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. He is the elder brother of Tadanobu Sato, who later became a follower of Yoshitsune.

In contrast to his gentle and soft-spoken brother, Tadanobu, he is straight-forward and rugged. He is loyal to the Fujiwara clan and Yoshitsune. He is usually a serious and reliable older brother, but sometimes he is a natural. He is a stoic character who takes pride in being a samurai and has pursued martial arts and weapons.
