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.
