If I need to say who they are means I failed
May be this one is a Little more hard to guess since the artistic license was quite big but if you are familiar with the theme you should know who is he

Okay, here are my first batch of entries...
Izumo no Okuni
Nōhime
Oichi
Izumo no Okuni
Okuni (出雲の阿国 Izumo no Okuni?, 1572? - ?) was the originator of kabuki theater. She was believed to be a miko at the Grand Shrine of Izumo who began performing this new style of dancing, singing, and acting in the dry riverbeds of Kyoto.
Nōhime
Lady Nö (濃姫?) also Kichō (帰蝶) ("hime" means lady, princess, woman of noble family), was the wife of Oda Nobunaga, a major daimyo during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. Her proper name was Kichō, but since she came from Mino Province, she is most commonly referred to as Nōhime (Lady of Mino). She was renowned for her beauty and cleverness.
Nōhime's father was the daimyo Saitō Dōsan and her mother was known as Omi no Kata. Nō herself appears very little in any historical record, and there is not a lot of information on the dates of her birth or death; however, proposed dates for her birth fall between 1533–1535.

Oichi
Oichi (お市?) (1547–1583) a female historical figure in the late Sengoku period. She is known primarily as the mother of three daughters who married well – Yodo-dono, Ohatsu and Oeyo.
Oichi was the younger sister of Oda Nobunaga; and she was the sister-in-law of Nōhime, the daughter of Saitō Dōsan. Oichi was equally renowned for her beauty and her resolve. She was descended from the Taira and Fujiwara clans.

Sometimes studying a lot of what Japan makes it easy to make cute onna bugeishas(Japanese for female warriors) for instance. I still have lots to learn about Japan since I'm fascinated to a fault. Believe it or not, Mitsurugi and Yoshimitsu originally were inspired from Sengoku era stuff. Mitsurugi is known to be inspired from some Miyamoto Musashi while Yoshimitsu(The First not the second)......well Nobunaga killed his clan for not serving Nobunaga. Further down along the line, they are their own character doing their own things.
While stereotyping is what we CAS artists do, we have to keep some of the essence of what they are at times. That being said, the Mitsurugi with the armor is great example to being Nobunaga cosplay(an idea I'm cooking up), but the rest are nice Japanese stuff but that's it....

I think you mean Son Goku from DB-DBZ which is inspired from the Sun Wukong stuff. Sengoku is the Warring States period in Japanese history.

Yeah it wouldn't feel right doing this contest without studying a little foreign culture first. Is it almost necessary to base these creations off of research that you would have to do on the Sengoku era.... What's your take on this? I think this whole idea for a contest challenge is pure gold, having to learn about history while being creative, well it's pretty cool to say the least.

I think one way to get ideas for what this challenge is to do a little digging.
Even though this anime inspired with video game fantasy, try cookie cutting ideas here for anyone stuck on this theme. The game Pokemon Conquest also copies some ideas. SCV as I mention earlier has Mitsurugi and Yoshimitsu(The first not the Second) mainly as Sengoku inspired warriors.
What you make out of them is on you. I saw NeclordX do some genderbend on Masamune, so I don't see why not genderbend, make zombie Nobunagas, and so on as long as it keeps to the theme.

Okay... Here is another, I just couldn't pass up this opportunity :)
Fūma Kotarō
Fūma Kotarō
Fūma Kotarō (風魔 小太郎?) was the name adopted by the leader of the ninja Fūma clan (風魔一党 Fūma-ittō?) during the Sengoku era of Japan. According to some records, his name was originally Kazama (風間). His biggest achievement came in 1580, when the Fūma ninja covertly infiltrated and attacked a camp of the Takeda clan forces under Takeda Katsuyori at night, succeeding in causing severe chaos in the camp, which resulted in mass fratricide among the disoriented enemies

Try to install the disc it might work. I thought girls took care of their stuff or do you have one of those early consoles applying nice circular scratches :(
