Takezo and his friend manage to survive the battle, and afterwards swear to do great things with their lives. However, the Tokugawa win a crushing victory, leading to nearly three hundred years of Shogunate rule. Running away from home with a fellow boy at age 17, Takezo joins the Toyotomi army to fight the Tokugawa clan at the battle of Sekigahara. Growing up in the late 15th century Sengoku era Japan, Shinmen Takezo is shunned by the local villagers as a devil child due to his wild and violent nature. Vagabond won a 2000 Kodansha Manga Award and the 2002 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize and has sold more than 82 million copies worldwide. Viz Media licensed the series for English release in North America and has published 35 volumes as of March 2014. It has been serialized in Weekly Morning magazine since 1998, with the chapters collected into 37 tankōbon volumes by Kodansha as of July 2014. It portrays a fictionalized account of the life of Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, based on Eiji Yoshikawa's novel Musashi. To attain the focus necessary to take on the most technically proficient and deadliest fighter he has ever faced, Musashi will first have to confront his own deep-seated personal demons.Vagabond (バガボンド Bagabondo) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. To prepare for a rematch, Musashi undertakes an intense spiritual and physical training regimen with a most unlikely teacher-Inshun's predecessor, the founder of the Hōzōin Spear Technique. Musashi suffers a humiliating defeat against Inshun, the second-generation master of Hōzōin Temple. But the path to enlightenment is an endless journey, and to get there through violent means-by way of the sword-makes mere survival an even greater challenge. The quintessential warrior-philosopher, Musashi authored A Book of Five Rings, a classic treatise in the canon of world philosophy and military strategy.
Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time.
