During his many travels, Haohmaru also raised Shizumaru Hisame and trained him to be a fighter. Encouraged by this defeat to further improve himself, Haohmaru travelled the lands, perfecting his sword skills and searching for worthy challengers in the name of Ashura. Genjuro won but almost killed Haohmaru in response, Nicotine banished Genjuro which began the latter's grudge against Haohmaru and Nicotine. One day, Nicotine told them they would battle to determine who would learn the secrets in a magical scroll to increase their fighting ability. Whilst living there, Haohmaru also met and befriended Kibagami Genjuro, fellow student and another orphan like himself. Jubei, amused by the youth's bravado, brought Haohmaru to Nicotine Caffeine so that he may gain proper training. According to his backstory, at the age of fifteen he challenged the series' version of Jubei Yagyu to a duel but lost due to lack of experience. Haohmaru appears in all Samurai Shodown games and their other-media adaptations. He is also often accredited to defeating most of the series' villains. Though he is a swordsman with no loyalties to any lord, Haohmaru has a "samurai spirit" which is often stressed in the series. The character was based on the famed swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi, a duelist who claimed to have never lost a match. He was introduced in the original Samurai Shodown in 1993 and has since appeared in every title in the series.
