No, Kenshin hasn't even made his formal appearances yet, Besides at time he was still living, Kanetsugu was nothing but a page, and we still haven't seen Ranmaru yet.

Same with Yukimura, unlike most games or fiction suggested, Yukimura was only 5 when Shingen died and not even turned 15 (coming-of-age) when Takeda clan was wiped out. So he technically was never a Takeda retainer and was actually Oda retainer since his coming of age was after Sanada clan surrenders to Oda.

It's was his father and grandfather who actually served under Takeda. His father Sanada Masayuki was the real famed Sanada who is a well known tactician.

Yukimura was only active during the latter part of Hideyoshi's reign after Nobunaga's death.


But since they accelerate the timeline they could be present but considering that Yukimura is the same age as Date, he'll just be another 5-6 year old brat, while Kanetsugu at best, would be a 7-8 year old.

It's more probable for Maeda Toshimasu(Maeda Kenji) to make appearance than them considering that despite him being technically Toshiie's(Inuchiyo) nephew he is the around the same age, might even be much older, to Toshiie.

As for Sarutobi Sasuke and the rest of the Sanada 10 braves. It' unlikely, considering that the 10 braves are creation of fictions and were mostly like not real (a few of braves do appear in various folklore but with no historical record to back them up)

All the characters so far (other than Himiko) in LN are all real historical characters that where mentioned in some historical text even if some's existence could be up for dispute like Shingen's strategist Yamamoto Kansuke.

Considering that Sasa, Ikeda, and Hayashi were all anime original that has yet to even appear in novel, I doubt imaginary characters like Sarutobi would appear in this series.
