Very little is known about the life of infamous swordsman Jubei Yagyu Mitsuyoshi. His father, Yagyu Munenori, fought alongside Ieyasu Tokugawa at the Battle of Sekigahara and was made the official trainer to the Shogun. His father pushed hard for Jubei to follow in his same footsteps to become a master swordsman and a royal prefect, but Jubei showed very little interest in holding a government position. During a training bout with his father, Jubei is blinded in one eye and dishonored for his lack of sword skills and his rebellious nature. Jubei spent the next twelve years wandering the countryside and learning everything he could by challenging and defeating foes to better his mastery of the sword. Jubei resurfaces at the age of 36 during a Shogun sword competition and defeats every opponent to become the new royal trainer to the Shogun. Jubei’s adventurous years spent wandering the country has led to numerous novels and stories. The feats he accomplished for honor and mastery of the sword have become. . . legendary.
