Birth name: Bontenmaru; 梵天丸
Adulthood name: Tojirô Masamune; 藤次郎
Leadership name: Date (Tojirô) Masamune; 伊達政宗
Posthumous/Buddhist name: Teizan; 貞山
Deified name: Takeru Hikonomikoto; 武振彦命
Birthday: 5th of September, 1567 (Eiroku 10, 8th Month, 3rd Day)
Title: One-Eyed Dragon (独眼竜; dokuganryū)
Land: Ōshū (奥州; Northern Japan) - Mutsu Province
Relations: Terumune (father), Yoshihime (mother), Kojiro (younger brother), Katakura Kojūrō (retainer; "Right Eye" in Sengoku BASARA)
- His father was supportive of him, while his mother was the opposite; though their relationship would be reportedly restored years later.
"When he was only eleven years old, his father wanted him to assume the headship, but the little fellow timidly declined the honor as he was doubtful of his ability, but the father urged him to try. . . . The people despised him as a fool, and even his mother wanted to depose him and substitute his younger brother." - Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan
- Theory: Kojūrō removed Masamune's right eye with a small knife. (This ancedote is mentioned in the Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes trivia.)
- Because Terumune ordered his own death by the hands of Masamune's men, Masamune is by extension responsible for his father's untimely passing. He proceeded to torture and kill the families of his father's kidnappers in deference to Terumune's wishes.
- Yoshihime attempted to poison her elder son so that Kojiro may take over the Date clan, but word has it that one of the guests died before Masamune could ingest the food. He retaliated by killing his brother.
