Shimazu Yoshihisa

Profile
The head of Shimazu House and the oldest of the four Shimazu brothers. He is a cool, calm, composed and charismatic man who is highly skilled as a leader both on and off the battlefield. He values women above all else and has no problem attracting them with his mature presence and dark good looks. All of these traits make him an immediate rival to Rance.

He is madly in love with Kurohime, to the point where he is willing to surrender his army to Xavier to secure her safety, but is upset that she continues to treat him as a child despite being a grown man.

If recruited into Rance's army, he will fall in love with the similar temperment-wise Mouri Teru, who will, depending on her affection rating towards Rance, either marry him or reject him in favor of Rance.

Trivia
Real world reference: Shimazu Yoshihisa / 島津義久

He is the first of the Shimazu brothers to die in the True route, where he dies holding off the enemy to allow his brothers to escape, leaving the position as head of Shimazu to his younger brother Kazuhisa.

He enjoys smoking cigarettes, drinking sake and going fishing in his free time.

Interestingly, he is a lean foot soldier who wields a katana, the primary weapon of warriors, while his younger brother Shimazu Kazuhisa is a muscular warrior who wields a spear, the preferred weapon of foot soldiers. Whether they were intended to be opposite classes initially is unknown.
