oyakatasamaSome of this may be filtered into Yukimura's memories at some point to give him better backstory, since I can't rely on canon or history to help me out with this stuff, argh.
From SB2 Heroes Trivia
Sanada’s Rokumonsen
The Sanada clan’s insignia is the famed Rokumonsen (Emblem of Six Sen*), which
is depicted as six un-inscribed sen, aligned three by three in two rows.
These six un-inscribed sen are symbolic of the Six Realms of Existence,
namely Hell Realm – Hungry Ghost Realm – Animal Realm – Asura Realm –
Human Realm – Heaven Realm, and the fare that the dead pay to be able to pass
the Sanzunokawa**, on the seventh day after dying.
This emblem’s meaning shows the Sanada clan’s strong determination in battle,
since it represents constant preparedness to facing death.
Notes:
* one Sen today corresponds to 1/100 yen
** The river the dead must cross, similar to the Styx

SARUTOBI SASUKE
The people’s Hero
Sarutobi Sasuke was part of the Sanada Ten Braves. They are 10 underlings
of Sanada Yukimura, a commander active in the late Sengoku era.
Composed by Sarutobi Sasuke, Kirigakure Saizo, Miyoshi Seikai Nyuudou, Miyoshi
Isa Nyuudou, Unno Rokurou, Nezu Jinpachi, Mochizuki Rokurou, Anayama Kosuke,
Kakei Juuzou, and Yuri Kamanosuke, it was a group whose members could use
freely powerful and outlandish techniques.
While their existence is not completely proven, Because of Sanada Yukimura’s
heroic actions in the Osaka summer siege, against powerful foes, from the
people’s oral tradition and stories these legendary heroes spontaneously
appeared.

TAKEDA SHINGEN
Fuurinkazan*
The famous 'Fuurinkazan' that starts with "Swift like the wind..." was in the
war flag of the Takeda Clan, and came from 'Military Manouvers", the seventh
chapter of Sun Tzu's military strategy book, "The Art of War".
But not many people know that there's a continuation to this Fuurinkazan,
which was not written in the war flags.
"Swift like the wind"
"Silent like a forest"
"Aggressive like fire"
"Unmovable like a mountain"
"Mysterious like a shadow"
"Move like a trembling of a thunder"
From this strategy, one can know that Shingen was not a wild warlord,
that used only brute force. On the contrary: he was a very resourceful one,
always thinking of strategies in order to win.
Notes:
* 'Fuurinkazan' translates directly into "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain".
