Yamagata in Popular Culture
He appears as one of the main characters in Akira Kurosawa's epic Kagemusha. In the movie he appears to be openly critical (albeit as a friend) towards the "real" Shingen.
Yamagata's role at Nagashino is often downplayed in video games based on the event (Samurai Warriors, Devil Kings and the like). He is usually replaced by Sanada Yukimura, although Yukimura does wear Yamagata's signature red armor.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
