Samurais - Humans

* Fictional character created by and for NUC Cards.

Zatoichi at first appears as a harmless blind (massagist) and bakuto (gambler) who wanders terra the land, gaining life with chō-han (jogando dice), bem as fazendo massagens, performing acupuncture and até, occasionally, singing and singing. ouvindo music. Secretly, no entanto, ele é muito skillful in fencing, specifically not kenjutsu and iaido da escola de Muraku, together with the sword skills mais gerais do Japão, assim as luta de sumô e kyujutsu.

Pouco do seu passado é revealed, a não ser que ele perdeu a visão quando criança devido a doença. Seu pai disappears for reasons not revealed when Zatoichi was around five years ago. He was described by his fencing instructor as being constantly practiced with extreme devotion when he was aluno, in order to develop his skills. Zatoichi says that he became a yakuza (gangster) during the three years that he spent in the past (which precedes immediately or original The Tale of Zatoichi) and matou muitas pessoas, something that later he deeply regrets. Isso is reflected em sua disposição de envol-se que us assuntos alheios - principally aqueles that sofrem de opressão / exploração ou alguma forma de corrupção. Despite the moral reavaliação e of sua nova outlook and remorso (e maioria das vezes for cause of them), usually a reward (sometimes quite large) em sua cabeça, de uma fonte ou outra ao longo two films and series. No entanto, because of your seriedade, inteligência and natural senses of empathy, muitas pessoas that you found during your crescem viagens to respect and atémimo to be imported com ele.

Ao contrary to a bushi, ele não carrega a traditional katana. Instead, he uses um shikomi-zue bem-feito (can 込み杖, lit. "prepared cana" or cana sword), pois or use ou posse de verdadeiras combat films formally probied by não-samurai during or Edo period Or decree was virtually impossível to apply, not entanto, as evidenced hairs executors of Yakuza was shown empunhando katanas ao longo two films. The Shikomi-zue films were usually made out of open embroideries, of double-length baixa qualidade, which could not be compared nem mesmo to a katana de baixo custo. As a result, the blade of the Ichi sword was broken during a climatic battle in Zatoichi, or Fugitive (or fourth film). A sword tem uma nova lÃ¡mina not forthcoming film, that ele empunha ata or fifteenth film Cane Sword by Zatoichi. To sheet (which breaks during or film) and to the sheet that was replaced especially forged to great custo e com muito mais do that you care habituais two ferreiros mestres and eram both of exceptional quality, superior to the swords of maioria two samurais. I do not come from Zatoichi find Yojimbo, his sword swords (presumivelmente to mesma) inexplicably break and sold to a ferreiro together with seu punho e bainha. Sua substituição não é um shikomi-zue, plus um jotō (杖刀 lit. to "espada do bastão") of revealed origin that is assemelha a um curto, grossobo pessoal, which também logo breaks. Not next film, Zatoichi: O Festival do Fogo, he is again using his brand-new trademark sword, equipped with a new film of deception and quality.

Sua skill of quick lute as um raio é incrível, com sua espada em um aperto reversal; isso, combined with your destemida habilidade nervosa de aço em uma luta, suas orelhas afiadas, olfato e propriocepção, tudo or torna um formidável adversário. He is also quite capable with a traditional katana. It gives the same form, it exhibits considerável habilidade using duas espadas simultaneously, not Musashi-like style Nitō Ichi in Zatoichi eo Doomed Man. Quasi supernaturally perigoso com lâminas, ele é totally capable (em pé, sat or deitado) of lutar and defeating quickly varios adversaries qualified simultaneously. Some, not at all, chegaram perto de defeat-em in combat, particularly during or final duel in Zatoichi Challenged, where extenuating circumstances lead to a role.

Or nome do personagem e na true Ichi. Zatō é um title, or mais baixo dos quatro postos officiates within Tōdōza, a historical guild for the blind (assim, zato também designates uma pessoa cega em gíria japona). Ichi é, therefore, propriamente chamado of Zatō-no-Ichi ("Pessoa Cega of Baixa Classificação, approximately") ou Zatōichi. A massagem was a traditional occupation for the blind (because in the absence of visão removia to questão do gênero), assim as a reproduction of biwa, for mulheres cegas (goze), or shamisen. Being less Hinin (lit. "Não-povo"), the massagist blinds were considered among the most powerful two mais baixos na classe social, além de Eta ou criminosos diretos; They were generally regarded as miseráveis, so early warning, nothing melhor that beggars or mesmo os loucos - especially during the Edo period - and it was also common to think that the blind were amaldiçoados, despzíveis, severely deficient mentais, surdos and sexually perigosos.

História

There are samurai and, in rare cases, onna-bugeisha, the warrior woman who followed the bushido.

In the 8th century, began the formation of the social caste of the samurai, but it was only in the late 12th century, with the establishment of the Kamakura Period there was the seven-century period of political and social samurai domination over the Japanese people, which ended with the Restoration Meiji determining the fall of the third shogunate in the second half of the nineteenth century.

In the tenth century, the term "samurai" was made official, and it gained a number of new functions, such as military. At that time, any citizen could become a samurai by simply training the Kobudo (traditional Japanese martial art of samurai), maintaining a reputation and being skilled enough to be hired by a feudal lord. So it was until the Tokugawa shogunate, begun in 1603, when the samurai class became a caste (hereditary transmission of a lifestyle). Thus, the title of "samurai" began to be passed from father to son. Thus, with hereditary transmission, they began to be militarily trained from childhood, and formed a respected and hereditary caste.

The most famous samurai of all time was Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645), a warrior who came from the countryside, participated in the battle of Sekigahara and began a long journey of perfection. He defeated the Yoshioka in Edo (present-day Tokyo) and won the battle with another great samurai, Sasaki Kojirō.

Samurai particularly prized military training. Through the martial arts, both his technique and his spirit were strengthened. More than hitting a target with his arrow or cutting something with his sword, a samurai always aimed at refining his spirit, with self-discipline and self-control, so that he is always prepared for the most adverse situations possible.

Styles

The Koryū (or Kobudo), as are known the fighting styles created by the samurai is still practiced today. It involves a wide range of different weapons and techniques, such as Kenjutsu (fighting with spades), Iaijutsu (sword-wrestling in combat), Naginatajutsu (fighting with halberd), Sōjutsu or Yarijutsu (spear art), Jojutsu and Bōjutsu ), similar to Taijutsu.
