Some historical facts added from the book and website of Professor John F. Morris, Miyagi Gakuin College, Sendai Japan. Professor Morris holds a Phd. in Japanese history from Tohoku University 7/15/2005
Added section on the NHK Taiga of Date Masumune to Masumune in popular culture section. Besides seeing the drama myself (it was very good) data was also drawn from http://www.japan-zone.com/modern/watanabe_ken.shtml. I got the reference for Masumune's Taiga being the most popular from that site. - KMC 6/9/06
No idea what importance rating or quality level to give this article, as I know nothing about Masamune besides that he wore a banana on his head. However, it should be part of wikiproject japan, I am sure. Erk| Talk -- I like traffic lights -- 01:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Not only is the fictional Masamune weapon probably named after Masamune Okazaki rather than Date Masamune, there is a complete wiki page referencing the weapon at Masamune (video game weapon). - CredoFromStart 16:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to ask a question, (delete this when answered please)doesn't the kanji "竜" means turtle or does it mean dragon too? (or is one eyed dragon is not directly translated?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pensuked ( talk • contribs) 11:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
The nickname is correctly translated. 竜 means dragon. 亀 means turtle.

Shouldn't this be at "Masamune Date", like with most Japanese names? I can understand "no" names, but this isn't one. Despatche ( talk) 03:20, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Shouldn't his birthday be on August 3, 1567?
