distinguishing features: thin frame:: unkempt hair, a few whiskers on face, a more casual appearance compared to rest of the samurai


The thing one would first notice about Mugen is his posture. He is never standing upright and doesn't really care what that makes people think about him. With a mess of dark brown hair on his head, tan skin, and dark eyes, Mugen could look like a somewhat intimidating guy. But his clothing say otherwise. He is rather casual looking for his "samurai" nature. An over sized red jacket over a grey shirt and black shorts make him look like some random civilian, but the curved sword on his back says otherwise. He wears the traditional wooden geta. Mugen also has blue tattoo bands on his ankles and on his wrists.

i can't feel the way i did before

overall
Mugen is not exactly the friendliest guy around, and his nature proves this. He is a wild man, and he could walk into a bar with blood all over him and not care about all the eyes on him.

The thing is, he doesn't really care.

Crude and vulgar, the first thing Mugen will do, when around women, is that he can, and will, make comments about their cup sizes when they are near. He usually only says it to insult them and only when they're not the "right size". This also helps the fact that he is a womanizer, such as when he can easily flirt with women and can, actually, gain their feelings of "love". Mugen is also incredibly fond of fighting and has a bad habit of picking fights for extremely petty reasons.

Known to have a fiery temper, Mugen will immediately snap at anyone who even slightly pisses him off. This is the main reason for his fights and uses it to his advantage sometimes. He has a very competitive side, seen when he couldn't exactly let go of his and Jin's rivalry. The two have even vowed to kill one another once their mission to find the samurai who smells of sunflowers is complete. His name, Mugen, means without limitation and this is very correct. When in battle, he will never exactly give up. It is either the other telling him he cannot fight (to him, this is forfeiting so he wins by default), or Fuu interrupts them (this happens a lot when he's in the middle of a fight with Jin).

Though rare, Mugen does have a compassionate side. It's not blatantly there, but it still shows when he was willing to help Fuu and defend her in her mission. It's not known if he could earn more of a heroic status if he would actually stop being such a jerk and defend others. The problem is, Mugen doesn't exactly care about people and is actually kind of selfish half the time.

Mugen also has rough Japanese and "Yanki". He was illiterate for most of his life.

time won't take this damage anymore
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored

Champloo Kendo


* champuru/ploo kendo: Rapid and unpredictable combination of swordplay and breakdancing. Developed by Mugen himself, it takes pieces from most, if not all, forms of martial arts and improvisation on his part. He is able to exhibit highly threatening speed and power when fighting and is able to bounce off of almost any surface, causing him to be a force to be reckoned with.

i am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
cause you don't understand i do what i can but sometimes it don't make sense
i am what you never wanna say but i've never had a doubt
it's like no matter what i do i can't convince you for once just to hear me out

other abilities


* blades: Mugen carries two blades, one being his main weapon that has a curved blade and a hilt with two prongs. His sword seems to be a strange combination of an okinawan sai and Japanese katana. The other is a small tanto that is hidden at the end of his scabbard. The tanto is revealed to be a last resort - a trump card if you will.

* geta: He is also able to parry attacks with the steel base of his geta.

so i let go watching you turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here 'cause you're all that i've got

history
Very little is directly revealed of Mugen's history.

What is known is that he was born into a penal colony on the Ryukyu Islands. In the Edo period, it was a kingdom separate from others but with close ties to the Satsuma domain of Japan. He was apparently an orphan and didn't know how to read until he was about nineteen. He comments that it has been quite a long time since he can remember about his parents and how it was like to have them.

It seems as if he is of Ainu origin, as he has stated that he grew up on the same music an Ainu fugitive was playing (despite the fact that the Ainu man was from the north while Mugen the south).

The blue tattoos on his wrist and ankles state that he was in prison one time in his life. At first, it is unknown as to why he belonged in prison. Later on, though, it is revealed that he was engaging in piracy, causing him to be next in line to be executed.

Of course he broke out and soon met Fuu and Jin. His first impression on both wasn't great. He got into an almost fatal fight with Jin on his first encounter and met Fuu in a bar. He did agree, however, to join her on her conquest to meet the samurai who smells of sunflowers. This causes him to become one of her bodyguards (the other being Jin).
