Musashi is one of the main protagonists of the manga, Orient. He, along with Kojiro and Tsugumi, embark on a journey to form the best bushi of them all.

Appearance
Musashi has blue eyes and short, spiky red hair. He is a lean young man with an average height and has a well-built physique due to his training. He wears an open black shirt with white designs, sports baggy, high-calf white pants, and black-and-red shoes that seem to be based on the sandals of the original samurai.

He seems to be quite popular with girls as many have looked at him and thought that he was handsome.

Personality
Musashi is a very cheerful person who always cares for others. From the beginning of the series, he has proven to be someone very determined since he firmly proposed to be a Bushi along with his friend Kojirou. However, because he was afraid of what others are going to say when he heard that his dream was to be a Bushi, he decided to hide it while being judged by Kojirou for doing it. However, when facing an Oni for the first time, he demonstrated what his true dream was when fighting alongside his friend.

On many occasions, Musashi has shown great appreciation and concern towards those he considers to be his friends, for example, together with Kojirou, they managed to save Tsugumi from her adoptive father by taking her with them on their adventure.

Musashi's past is categorized first by his orphaning early in life and life with his foster family (Kojiro's Family) leading to the events of the story.

Trivia

 * Musashi is said to like women who are too old because in the abstinence training that the miners received, they could not notice the girls of the town, so he and his companions only noticed their old teachers.
 * Musashi after shattering his pickaxe/(makeshift kitetsuo) after failing 2x the sword test he overcame the Onyx Goddess claiming the kitetsuo the nameless black soul swordsman gave him in an attempt to kill himself in an attempt to force him into creating black crystals that would consume him that he may create the "Strongest Kitetsuo" allowing those forsaken by the "Onyx Goddess" to wield kitetsuo of immense power bypassing her test as it had been forged by the soul of another becoming their own governing force creating the Nameless Black Soul Swordsman over powered "cheat weapon" powerful enough to slash a volcanic metal -forged prism the size of a 20 storie high skyscraper. Putting on full display the power of sword soul forged kitetsuo (Damn, writing down all of this is tiring -ChubbsCrocodile)
