About
The legendary archrival of [Musashi Miyamoto](https://anilist.co/character/6194/Miyamoto-Musashi). Raised by [Kanemaki Jisai](https://anilist.co/character/25810/Kanemaki-Jisai), after he is found as a baby in casket, floating on the ocean. He develops an intense attachment to swords and fencing at an early age, possessing an almost preternatural ability to react to his opponents' moves. Kojirou is deaf and mute, though still literate. His personality is very playful, almost child-like. [Ittousai](https://anilist.co/character/24309/Itou-Ittousai) has also commented on the possibility that Kojirou's eyes have become better developed to compensate for his lack of hearing.
