"Gakuen BASARA" is a spin-off of the popular video game and anime series "Sengoku BASARA." It's a school parody that imagines what would happen if the characters from the "Sengoku BASARA" series, who lived during the Sengoku period, were living the lives of modern-day high school students. This time, we'll introduce one of the characters, "Sarutobi Sasuke."

In "Gakuen BASARA," Sarutobi Sasuke is a second-year student at "BASARA Academy." He's a member of the same soccer club as Sanada Yukimura, and serves as the school's caretaker. He's also a member of the newspaper club, where he's an insider who spends his days searching for exclusive stories within the school. His appearance, like in the "Sengoku BASARA" series, is characterized by camouflage on his face and a large green bandana. He also wears his uniform shirt casually. His favorite subject, as in the newspaper club, is "Information," while his least favorite subject is "Physics."

One of the Ten Braves of Sanada, she serves as Sanada Yukimura's supervisor and aide. While she calls Yukimura "husband," she calls him "general" when he serves as acting commander-in-chief of the Takeda army in Sengoku BASARA 3 and as the new commander-in-chief of the Takeda army in Sengoku BASARA the Movie. She is from the same hometown as Uesugi Kenshin's trusted ninja Kasuga, and often flirts with him.

Sasuke can't keep up with the passionate love between his master, Takeda Shingen, and Yukimura, and their constant destruction of their surroundings causes him a bit of a headache.
Perhaps because of this, fans know her as the "mother of the Takeda army." However, she doesn't seem to dislike Yukimura's hot-blooded attitude all that much, and seemed quite pleased when Yukimura, who had lost his former vigor in "Sengoku BASARA 3," returned to his hot-blooded, foolish self.
THE! Hitman
His carefree demeanor and easy-going nature make him seem like a simple softie, but he's actually very thoughtful and has many thoughts dwelling on.
He sometimes harshly admonishes Yukimura, but he can also be ruthless if it means completing a mission. In "Sengoku BASARA 3 Banquet," he remarks, "The enemy doesn't look like a human; I see them as monkeys," and says that Yukimura and Shingen are the few people he sees as human.
