GENERAL/STORY:

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.

REVIEW:
As the original "elder samurai" of the Samurai Shodown series, Jubei debuted as a pretty cool and traditional character that fit right into the series. He also uses the unique double katana style which was unique to fighting games at the time of his debut, and very "Musashi-like," even though he's not based on Musashi. His cockiness and cool fighting style is what makes his personality stand out, and his clothing attire and hair is nothing but badass.
