Miyamoto, Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi (1584 – 1645) or Shinmen Takezo (his birth name) at a very young age embarked on a journey to become the strongest samurai only after being exiled from his own village. Musashi is the son of a samurai family, whose father was one of the most renowned samurai across the nation. One of the foremost reasons that drives Musashi to excel in sword-fighting is his desire to overcome his father due to the harsh treatment Musashi received during his childhood because of his incapability of rebelling.

Musashi is unique in terms of his sword skill due to the unfamiliar movements and lack of style he uses. This is due to the fact that he spent most of his time in the forest labeled as a demon child by his village because of his demeaning and wicked nature.
