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.
