This Month's Featured Article Kunoichi is a playable character in the Samurai Warriors series, first introduced in Samurai Warriors. She is unique in that she is the only character in the series who is not based on a historical figure but rather two popular tales surrounding the Takeda and Sanada clans and their supposed use of ninja. In the case of the former, she is not based on Chiyome Mochizuki and is meant to be one of the possible kunoichi trained by her. Her weapons are two kunai that she uses by slashing with them and throwing them. Her ultimate weapon is Shiranui excluding the weapons featured in Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends. Despite debuting in the first Samurai Warriors, she was removed in Samurai Warriors 2 and replaced with Nene. She, along with other characters, returned in the Warriors Orochi series.

[edit] October 2008
This Month's Featured Article Zhang He is a playable character in the Dynasty Warriors Series, often seen as one of the most unique and unusual characters. He has recieved a fair share of both positive and negative feedback since being introduced in Dynasty Warriors 3. Zhang He is usually portrayed as a beautiful, graceful and effeminate warrior. He uses exaggerated clawed gloves or tiger claws called the "Phoenix Talons" during combat until Dynasty Warriors 6 where he welds a double ended spear instead of his former twin claws from the previous games. Famed for his resourcefulness that even Zhuge Liang was said to be wary of, Zhang He was considered by Chen Shou, author of the Records of Three Kingdoms, to be one of the five top generals of the Kingdom of Wei.

This Month's Featured Article Liu Bei is a playable character in the Dynasty Warriors Series, he was introduced in Dynasty Warriors 2 and has returned in every Dynasty Warriors game since.

[edit] July 2008
This Month's Featured Article Zuo Ci is a playable character in Dynasty Warriors 5, he was introduced in this game as a new character, however, he does not return in Dynasty Warriors 6. His stats are extremely high, even surpassing Lu Bu's, the first time a character has ever done so. His weapons are a deck of cards, the ultimate being a deck called "Trump Deck", which have a high base attack power. This makes him on par with Lu Bu's weapon, however, Lu Bu's moveset has a longer reach and is therfore deadlier. He appears little in any character's story save Cao Cao's, most likely due to his minute involvement in the story of any character besides him in the true story of "The Romance of The Three Kingdoms".

[edit] June 2008
This Month's Featured Article
Lu Bu is usually the icon character as he is bestowed with the highest statistics of all playable generals (bar Zuo Ci) and is granted a vastly superior move set. His weapon, a large halberd he calls the "Sky Scorcher", is also deadlier than almost every other weapon due to its long reach, wide range and massive rate of damage. He is also highly difficult to kill in the Dynasty Warriors series—alluding to his reputation as an unmatched and highly skilled warrior. (Read more...) Recently featured: None
