His name suits him well. He has the gift of wisdom and speaks wise advice to his comrades. But unless the need for him to say something arises, he doesn't say much at all. He would fall into the category 'strong, silent type'. Although not as physically strong as Kento, he is definitely strong in spirit. He is very cunning and intelligent and likes to have plans before battling, and that could be part of the reason why he and Rowen are best friends, they get along well together. He is known as both the Ronin Warrior of Light, and the Ronin Warrior of Wisdom. He is considered to be third in command and will spend so much time thinking which leads him open to attacks. Although he and Rowen are best friends, we often see him with Ryo. Why? I don't have a clue. His armor has the ability to heal others as well as the ability to create light. Sage is the only Ronin to have a straight-up counterpart in the Dark Warlords. He and Cale are complete antithesis of each other. His sword emits light while Cale's absorbs light. Also, all except for two battles with Cale were directed against him. He was the one who figured out that even though the Ronin armors came from Talpa, it was what was inside the wearer's heart that made it a force of good or evil. His power wields the energies of life, light and lightning. Sage was rebellious when he was younger so he was taught bonzai and bamboo flute to teach him restraint. He is often calm and in control, but he can be driven into a nearly blind rage when provoked. He is the more serious warrior and tends to keep the others at a distance and generally keeps to the task at hand. He follows his own intuition and experience in battle. Sage is an expert swordsman and seems to have an affinity for deer.

~Family~

His father is a police officer and practices kendo. He married into the Date clan. His grandfather is head of the family dojo and was in charge of Sage's upbringing and taught him the ways of the Bushi. Sage's mother is second in the family dojo, her father outranks her. Sage has two sisters: Yayoi is five years older and practices kendo and is a medical student. Satsuki is two years younger. Yayoi teases Sage a lot and it makes it harder for him to talk to girls. (Wondering why? well, Kento calls him the Casanova of the group and the others call him pretty boy) Satsuki speaks normal Japanese unlike her older siblings. Yayoi and Sage both speak formal Japanese. Sage's family descended from Date Masamune, a famous general who built a castle in Sendai, the prefectural capital of Miyagi. Sage lives in the outskirts of Sendai, in the family dojo which he will one day inherit. He is known as the 'young master'.
