Inei Houzouin 宝蔵院胤栄
An elderly Buddhist monk, Houzouin Inei is the retired founder of the Houzouin spear technique. Quirky and wise by nature, Inei helps and trains Miyamoto Musashi in order to give Inshun -- the second-generation master of the Hōzōin spear technique -- the valuable experience of mortal combat.
