Much like the Robin Hood character from western mythology, Ninja master Jubei was a defender of the common man. His brother Matajuro became the hero of the kabuki play True Tales of Twin Umbrellas (1887), and later in the 20th century several novels by Futaro Yamada firmly established Jubei as a cultural hero.
Born Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi (Mitsutoshi in some sources), Jubei was the first son of Yagyu Tajima No Kami Munenori - swordmaster to the Tokugawa Era shogun, Ieyasu.
Among the official documents of the period, Jubei is listed as an attendant to the second Tokugawa shogun, Hidetada in 1616, and later became a follower and occasional sword instructor to the third shogun, Iematsu.

Their most famous usage is in Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Munenori's Heiho kaden sho and in Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi's Tsuki no sho.
The earliest bugei appearance of the terms with commentary is Yagyu Sekishusai Muneyoshi's Motsujimi shudan kudensho.
The second usage, the one Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi appears to be getting at in his Tsuki no sho, points to the difference between overwhelming an opponent (in its crudest incarnation, simply intimidating him into submission) vs. drawing him out--swordsmanship that gives life to the opponent's will and actions, vs. swordsmanship that attempts to crush them.
