Mushin

was an elderly Buddhist monk who raised Miroku after the Kazaana consumed Miroku's father. Mushin maintained a secluded Buddhist temple at the site of the Wind Tunnel crater, where Miroku's father and grandfather died.

History
After Miroku nicked his Wind Tunnel while fighting a mantis yōkai, he traveled to Munshin's temple with Hachiemon to get him to repair it. While Mushin was preparing his herbs for the healing session, he was attacked by a demon worm charmer, and the worm possessed him. Sango killed the demon worm charmer who was trying to escape, and they managed to lift Mushin's possession.

When many monks and priests were being mysteriously killed by someone, Mushin believed that he would also soon be killed. He told Miroku that before he died, he would like to drink the legendary sake that was brewed by the Sake Sennin, sending Inuyasha and his friends to obtain it.

Personality
Mushin was overly fond of sake and was not above "making the most" of a situation.

Physical description
Mushin was a old man, looking to be in his 70's or so. He had brown skin and a bald head with some wrinkles. He had large white eyebrows and a large mustache that covered his mouth most of the time. Mushin was often seen drunk, conveyed by the red marks on his nose.

Powers & Abilities
Mushin had moderate-level supernatural powers, being able to periodically repair the Kazaana in the event it became enlarged if something nicked it while being sucked in.

Relationships
Miroku loved Mushin, and saw him as a father figure, as Mushin raised him as his own son after the Kazaana consumed Miroku's father.
