Yes, personality wise I think the one by Eiji Yoshikawa, which is the one that Inoue is writing in Vagabond lacks some ferocity, some egoism.
He is the hero idolized after 400 years of him being more famous as a pot maker and as a painter than as a warrior.
In that respect I find the Itakagi interpretation more believable, as a human being with human desires and ego, ambition. A human that was admired and that he took advantage of it.
Maybe in his elderly years he mas more like the Vagabond one, but on his middle years I think the on in Baki is more real.

Unlike Baki, Vagabond is actually good series, so I'd take that.

Vagabond
Everyone in baki is fucking insane

What makes you say Vagabond is a good series and Baki isn't? They both excel at managing to provide what they aim for.

If we're speaking historical accuracy then Kojirou is supposed to be like 40 years older than Musashi to begin with. I don't think it's the intention of any fiction regarding Musashi to give a shit about his actual historical presence, the man is more a myth than a person.

>the man is more a myth than a person.

Actually until the publication of the book by Eiji, he was more known as a painter and a ceramist.

Also it's not all that clear that Kojiro Sasaki is real or not, which is why I loved how in Baki when Tokugawa asks Musashi how Retsu compared to kojiro musashi just answers with a "who?" " I killed more than 60 man in duels, don't expect me to remember all of them", to me that felt more accurate to what a real person would have lived.

If OP or anyone likes Miyamoto Musashi. I suggest you look up Chiba Shusaku. He, in my opinion provided more for Budo than musashi did beyond their life times.

>Chiba Shusaku

>Chiba Shūsaku Taira no Narimasa (千葉 周作 成政?, 1793, Kese Village (now part of Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture), Japan – January 17, 1856) was the founder of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō (北辰一刀流兵法) and one of the last masters who was called a Kensei (sword saint). Most historians name him the greatest and strongest Samurai in history, not Miyamoto Musashi. This is because his life and duels are well documented and don't base on legends or on his self told stories, like Musashis.

I guess the mystery or mysticism regarding musashi is what makes him more attractive as a character. Regardless I'm sure there are manga based on him that I will look up now.

Too bad his legacy is now in the hands of a pasty whitopeeg.
