Mushin

Mushin is an elderly Buddhist monk who became Miroku's guardian when the Kazaana (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 Budhhist monk and raised him as his own son. Mushin is overly fond of sake and is not above "making the most" of a situation. He maintains a secluded Budhhist temple which is also the site of the Wind Tunnel crater, where Miroku's father and grandfather died. Mushin is also known to like to drink alcoholic beverages. This is mainly used only as comic relief during tense scenes.
