Musashi's parents were simple farmers that were friendly to the Kanemaki family even through anti-Bushi sentiments were rampant in Tatsuyama. One day Musashi comes across Kojiro practicing his swordsmanship and comes by his house everyday to practice and play with him. After Musashi's parents' death, he wanders from family to family to seek shelter. He then goes to live with his relatives who threatended to beat and punish him if he interacted with them. Musashi's relatives promise to fully accept him into their family if he throws a stone and insults Jisai Kanemaki. Musashi desperately wants to be accepted by his relatives and throws the stone, telling Jisai that he's better off dead. Musashi later visits the Kojiro residence to apologize to Jisai who forgives Musashi. Jisai says that he was grateful that Musashi had befriended Kojiro, despite the social stigma surrounding their family in Tatsuyama. Jisai allows Musashi to live with him and raises him alongside Kojiro, teaching them swordsmanship and battle strategies.
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. ( I have yet to record the events predating this I'll finish A.S.A.P - ChubbsCrocodile.) In Chapter's 28,29, and 30 it's shown that before the events of the story, flashing back to tatsuyama town showing Musashi's mother and father's dead bodies. he is sent to live with his relatives who told him to do nothing and if not they would punish him severely with beatings and words. like many others his "foster family" (Editor's Note:) that's how i'm going to refer to them) ordering him to hurl a stone at his adopted father as well as telling him he's better off dead, that they would accept him if he did, the onyx goddess using this moment in an attempt to keep Musashi there with her forever telling him he isn't needed and that he'd just be a hindrance to his friends, but in Chapter 30, unlike Chapter 39 show's what Musashi was thinking during that interaction, that maybe if he did what they asked maybe he'd gain recognition and be born anew as a part of their family, but did the cause justify the means???, The [[Obsidian Goddess]] telling him that his dream is not to become a Bushi but to stay with his friend Kojiro, telling him it was just another means to an end just as that stone was so many years ago. Just like the Kitetsuto he so desperately desire's. She tells him not to resent her, but that she is just showing him the terrors of his past to crush his will to fight that if he did she'd be taken by those people which is why she believes them to be the same following up with telling him that he need not fight the Oni anymore.
