And yes, there are plenty of Governors, Matsunaga Hisahide was one.
Yes, Sasuke is one of Nobunaga's favorite servant.
But that's just personal matter, official wise he's still a nobody unless Nobunaga grants him a title.
Being your lord's favorite servant doesn't make you a governor.
I don't understand why you mention Matsunaga Hisahide, he's a daimyou, not a mere messenger.

Well, everything I said is just my assumption, as the term "governor" gives me an impression of something big.
If you have any source that tells that it's just a petty and common tittle in the Sengoku period, please show me.

For your infomation, 「"大名" daimyo」 had at least 10000 goku in the Edo period.
I know that. Minor lords have an annual income of 10000 koku and biggest one can have up to one million, that's why Sasuke's 200 is laughable. He himself admits that he's poor.
