The game's lore describes this being as a skilled swordsman and military leader. Being a part of the main story, he joined the army in order to fight against the Taira clan. While on your own campaign, you'll run into Yoshitsune multiple times and team up with him to battle mutual enemies.

It causes him to transform into an Aratama, a Yokai known as a savage spirit. In this state, he'll be beyond reason, and you'll have no choice but to defend yourself. Yoshitsune can be fought in the Main Mission of Eternal Rivals and the Sub Mission of Bond Of The Blade. It's recommended that you be at levels 124 and 129, respectively.
