The game also includes its own interpretation of one of Miyamoto Musashi's most famous duels, against Sasaki Kojiro the character Kojiro is introduced as Musashi's rival, who searches for him in the hopes of defeating him in a duel. Musashi's two-sword style of combat is the most obvious connection, as Miyamoto is known for his nitouichi (二刀一, "two swords as one") kenjutsu technique however, Miyamoto used a katana and wakizashi, whereas in Brave Fencer Musashi, Musashi wields a katana and a sword with an extremely wide blade (causing it to somewhat resemble Cloud Strife's buster sword from Final Fantasy VII) which can also be considered a type of Zanbato which was an unsuccessful weapon from feudal Japan. Several elements of Brave Fencer Musashi are superficially derived from the legend of Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Japanese swordsman, though the game's plot is unrelated to Musashi's life.
