He and his wife Kagaribi were both killed by the demon Zankuro. Because his hate for the demon was so deep, he came back from the dead. Although his heart and mind had gone mad, he hunts Zankuro for revenge. After Zankuro had been killed, Basara searched for ways to finally rest in peace. After finding out that Amakusa was the one who brought him back from the dead, he heads for Shimabara to kill Amakusa. His soul was eventually captured by Mizuki and was sealed away.

REVIEW:
He may have been inspired by one of the characters in the classic anime movie, Ninja Scroll, as they do share quite a few characteristics; but Basara definitely has his own uniqueness and badassness (if that's a word).  He's an incredible design for the series in many ways... 

His weapon is of course very cool, he shows lot's of emotion while fighting, and his moves are simply awesome. I love how he sends out the "shadow clones" of himself, which makes for an innovative way to beat opponents... On that note, the way I can use him in SS4 makes him appear even more badass than the pictures could ever tell you.
