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:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
