Profile

General:
Jubei is a one-eyed samurai of the Yagyu clan. He was born as the son of a poor samurai. But because his skills in sword fighting was great, he was adopted by Yagyu Munenori. His skills in sword fighting eventually earned him the position of the leader of the Secret clan of Yagyu, the Iga ninjas. One day, his family suddenly disappeared without a trace. Since then, Jubei travels throughout Japan to find his lost family. During his travels, he was challenged by a young warrior named Haohmaru. Although he easily defeated him, he decided to find other strong warriors to show the power of Yagyu Shinkageryuu. Later, the Bakufu government ordered him to rid of the evil when Amakusa appeared and later Mizuki appeared.

 He is based off of a character with the same name from the movie Makai Tensei. He is also based on the historical figure who goes by the same name.

Comment:
As the original elder of the Samurai Shodown series, Jubei is actually quite cool... He's got the double katana style which is unique and Musashi-like, even though he's not based on Musashi. His cockyness is what makes his personality stand out, and his clothing attire is traditional and badass.
