Azai Hisamasa (浅井 久政) (1524 - September 23, 1573) was a son of Azai Sukemasa and the second head of Azai clan.
Hisamasa became the head of Azai clan on 1542 after his father died, but unlike his father, he was never a strong leader.
Hisamasa's retainers had enough with Hisamasa and after his son AzaiNagamasa won the Battle of Norada against at least double the number of troop commanded by Rokkaku Yoshikata to win back independence, they forced Hisamasa into a retirement.
In 1564, Nobunaga had his sister, Oichi marry AzaiNagamasa, a daimyo in northern Omi province.
When Nobunaga launched a campaign into the Asakura clan's domain, AzaiNagamasa, to whom Oichi was married, broke the alliance with Oda to honour the Azai-Asakura alliance which had lasted for generations.
At the Battle of Anegawa, Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the combined forces of the Asakura and Azai clans.

Azai farmers are famed for their flavoursome, juicy melons which look very much like the honeydews we know and love.
The Azai fire service is a department within the Azai-cho Council, not unlike Wentworth where the Shire has been a financial supporter and more of district fire-fighting services.
The harsh cold of the Azai winter is a sharp contrast to the softer days of the three preceeding seasons.

She was ordered by her brother, Nobunaga Oda, the first of three Warring States period hegemons, to marry NagamasaAzai, the lord of Odani to forge a strategic alliance with the Azai clan.
That was all to change in the first year of Genki (1570) when Nobunaga faced Nagamasa at the Battle of Anegawa.
Azai allied himself with the Asakura of Echizen and faced the combined forces of Oda and the Tokugawa.

susah bgd kalahin NagamasaAzai di Anegawa =__=
belum lagi tiap lawan NagamasaAzai, dia slalu restore troops nya disaat2 dah ampir mati, lalu kalo mo hantam pasukan panah Nagamasa, juga susah, coz pasti bakal bentrok ma pasukan inti Azai ndiri....
kalau begitu jangan keburu nyerang frontal ke pasukan inti AzaiNagamasa, protolin aja dolo caranya kaya taunt gitu begitu dia nyerang sikat pake cavalry charge, nah baru setelah itu pasukan panahnya di embat.
So Kennyo Honganji, Ieyasu Tokugawa, and NagamasaAzai are still unplyable.
The new characters will surely be the ones wick got a different model in Samurai Warriors or the ones who introduce you to the final trials in Officer Creation Mode(Tokugawa, Imagawa, Toyotomi, Azai and so on..)
In the original, his character had a unique model, but he just wasnt playable.
Im actually surprised he wasnt playable in the first one, and Im even more surprised Ieyasu Tokugawa isnt playable in either of these, and Im just sad that NagamasaAzai is not either.
