Musashi Miyamoto (Vagabond)

==Summary==
Musashi Miyamoto (Born under the name Shinmen Takezo) is a character who is destined to become Japan's most renowned swordsman and seeks to become "Invincible Under The Sun" in order to conquer the weakness that resides within.
After being exiled from his village and called a demon as a young man, Musashi embarks on a journey to become Japan's strongest swordsman. At the beginning of his adventure, Musashi is very hot-headed, aggressive, and almost obsessed with becoming invincible to overcome his late father, who gave him extremely harsh treatment as a child. This made him violent and feared by others. After coming into self-realization that he reached throughout his many battles in which he met various warriors and veterans with varying philosophies on life and the art of combat, and perceiving how limited and empty the title of "Invincible under the Sun" was, Musashi becomes a far more mature, wise and gentle person that understands the importance of life and beauty, even though he knows he can't escape the spiral of death and killing.
