		Legend has it that it had been prophesied that if Benkei, a masterless fighter, captured 1,000 swords in combat, he would find his ultimate master; alternative readings say that he was collecting swords from which he would forge a blade of his own.
		Benkei, by contrast, is usually darker, reflecting his common birth.
		Benkei fits this category, particularly during his early career, but Kato Kiyomasa is the definitive example.

		Having stationed himself on the Gojo Bridge on the outskirts of Kyoto, Benkei terrorized travellers on the bridge at night and was fast on his way to garnering 1,000 swords.
		A fight ensued in which the young and nimble Ushiwakamaru easily out-maneuvered the hulking Benkei with his arsenal of weapons strapped to his back and his swinging halberd.
		Kiyomasa had many connections with Hideyoshi: born in the same village, they both lost their fathers when young (Kiyomasa's flsmith father died when he was three), and were distantly related through their mothers.

		Musashibo Benkei was a famous warrior-monk, known for his enormous height and his fondness for and skill with the naginata.
		At last Benkei is too exhausted to continue and his naginata falls to the ground.
		In Japan, Benkei's name conjures up notions of total and complete loyalty, who went even so far as to beat his master in order to preserve his disguise and safe his life, while Yoshitsune has become a classic tragic figure who was hounded to an early suicide by his jealous and power-hungry half-brother.

	Genji: Dawn of the Samurai (Import) - PlayStation 2 Review
		I don't understand a whole lot, but the game revolves around Yoshitsune, and his companion, Saito Musashibo Benkei.
		There's a minor crafting element to the game, too, but it's not so much you actually refining your weapons as it is making sure to nail enemies with your kamui powers to knock special items off the enemy that the flsmith can fuse into something powerful.
		Benkei is very sluggish, and changing direction with him results in frames of animation I haven't seen in a game before.

		Genji is about the Japanese historical figure Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his loyal vassal, fighting monk Saito Musashibo Benkei.
		So Yoshitsune and Benkei discover they both have glowy marbles of POWER, and then an old man tells them to collect these glowy marbles of POWER to ensure the future of Japan never falls into the hands of demons or somesuch.
		Yoshitsune is the uke, so he gets the power to jump up roofs, while Benkei, being a tank without fuel, just mows his way through rocks, locked doors, and other heavy implements.

		Failing to defeat his brother, who installed himself as the first Shogun in Japan’s history, Yoshitsune spent the rest of his life fleeing from Yoritomo’s men.
		On his travels, he attracted many retainers, including the warrior monk Saito Musashibo Benkei, who swore lifelong fealty.
		It is said that their loyalty was so great that, when escape finally became impossible, they held off a force many times greater than their own number to allow Yoshitsune to commit seppuku.
