context_page_description: Chiba Shūsaku Taira no Narimasa was the founder of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō and one of the last masters who was called a Kensei. Most historians name him the greatest and strongest Samurai in history, not Miyamoto Musashi. This is because his life and duels are well documented and are not based on legends or on self told stories, like Musashi's.
