## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Musashi_Miyamoto&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Musashi Miyamoto in 1612
A diminutive old man with long, antenna-like eyebrows, Musashi is indeed the real famous samurai from the early [Edo Period](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edo_period "wikipedia:Edo period"). Thought to have died in 1645, he is instead still alive and 400 years old. He has been guarding the Raijin-ken for centuries and now trains [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane"), who has been able to pull the sword from it's stone. Having won 60 fights in his lifetime his skill is still amazing, but even though he has unbelievable reflexes and skill he is prone to back spasms and has a fragile hip. Though a more responsible less lenient master than [Yaiba's father](/wiki/Kenjuro_Kurogane "Kenjuro Kurogane"), he is still as gluttonous and lecherous as Yaiba is.
In flashbacks he is shown to be tall and attractive, but there is no resemblance to his current look. He looks so different in fact that his revived rival [Kojiro Sasaki](/wiki/Kojiro_Sasaki "Kojiro Sasaki") and pupil [Jubei Yagyu](/wiki/Jubei_Yagyu "Jubei Yagyu") could not recognize him at all.
His trademark laugh is *Hyo~hyohyohyo*.
Like the real life Musashi, he uses **Niten Ichi-ryuu (二天一流 ,*Two Heavens as One Style*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))**, also known as *Two Sword Style*.

## Plot overview[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Musashi_Miyamoto&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Plot overview")]
### [Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba](/wiki/Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!! "Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!")[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Musashi_Miyamoto&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba")]
In both the original [Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito") chapter and the [Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan") OVA, Musashi appears near the very end of the story, where he compares [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") to [Jirokichi the Rat Boy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nezumi_Koz%C5%8D "wikipedia:Nezumi Kozō") and then has Yaiba chase after him on a kite.
