Didn't know about that.thanx for the info.Do you have any information at all on the original historical figure?
This is it; credits goes to the art of copy paste:
Caffeine Nicotine
Musashi (at least according to Yoshikawa) did have a Zen Buddhist monk
as a mentor during his early years named Soho Takuan. Whether this is
historically true is debatable, but Takuan was a real person--there's a
pickle named after him! His teachings on Zen also had a great influence
on the historical Musashi's approach to fighting and life. In addition,
he was a personal mentor to both the Shogun and Yagyu Munenori, and
influenced both their Zen approaches to swordsmanship. Of course, Takuan
did not puff joints, drink coffee, or throw talismans around, and he was
NOT a fighter in his early years, like Nicotine. But that's probably the
best basis for him.
The monk named Dakuan (!) in Jubei Ninja Chronicles bears a remarkable
resemblance to Nicotine, although Dakuan is more sinister looking and
not half as wacky (many of the SS designers also worked on that anime).

Remember, copy paste.... Monkey told you that!
