Mushin

Mushin is an elderly Buddhist monk who raised Miroku when the Wind Tunnel consumed Miroku's father.

Mushin has a moderate level of supernatural powers; he is able to periodically repair the Kazaana if it becomes enlarged when something nicks it on the way through. He trained Miroku as a Buddhist monk and raised him as his own son. He maintains a secluded Buddhist temple which is also the site of the Wind Tunnel crater, where Miroku's father and grandfather died. Mushin is overly fond of sake and is not above "making the most" of a situation, sending Inuyasha and his friends to obtain "heavenly sake" when he's under the impression he was about to die.
