Koei Tecmo also shared a few more details and screenshots about the most recently announced playable characters, which you can also view below as translated via Gematsu:

Shingen Takeda (voiced by Kenji Hamada)

The great daimyo headquartered in Kai.

A solitary hero, infamously known as “The Tiger of Kai.” The leader of a powerful army of horseback riders, he fights to conquer these turbulent times. He believes that the world cannot be brought under control, and despises Kenshin Uesugi and his belief in his “path of righteousness.”

Kenshin Uesugi (voiced by Kazuyuki Okitsu)

The great daimyo headquartered in Echigo.

The noble courageous general referred to as the “God of War.” In order to advocate “the path of righteousness” that he believes in, he works to expand his noble war to every region. The way he pursues his own path in life would have a large impact on Mitsuhide as well.

Motonari Mori (voiced by Hideo Ishikawa)

The great daimyo headquartered in Aki.

A cool-headed veteran and a resourceful general. He aims to take advantage of the country’s disorder and freely plans his schemes. He went from being a regional feudal lord to a powerful figure who rules the entire Chūgoku region of Japan. In the battle with the Amago family, Motonari encounters Shikanosuke Yamanaka.

Hisahide Matsunaga (voiced by Kouji Ishii)

The great daimyo of Yamato.

While he has the demeanor of a gentleman, he would not balk at the idea of slaying a shogun if it was in the pursuit of creating his ideal world. He views Mitsuhide as a person of exceptional talent who is fit to be a part of the ideal world he believes in.

Takakage Kobayakawa (voiced by Hiroshi Okamoto)

The third son of Motonari Mori.

A proud tactician who holds the future of the Mori family on his shoulders. Fearless in youth, he never distrusts his wit and intelligence, and has full confidence in everything that he does. During his battle with the Amago family, he often clashed with Shikanosuke.

Samurai Warriors 5 launches on June 24th for Switch in Japan, and on July 27th for the rest of the world.
