'''''Ganryu (Musashi Ganryuki)''''', (武蔵厳流記), known outside Japan as "Ganryu", is a [[hack and slash]] videogame developed by [[Visco Corporation]] and published by [[SNK]] in 1999 on [[Neo Geo MVS]].<ref>http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/masterlist.htm</ref> It is loosely based on [[Miyamoto Musashi]]'s fight with [[Sasaki Kojirō]].

==Plot Origin==
On April 14, 1612, [[Musashi Miyamoto]] and [[Sasaki Kojirō]] dueled. Musashi had an opportunity to see Kojiro's sword sometime before the duel and knew of its long length, so Musashi made his sword even longer. When Musashi arrived on the beach for the duel, he jumped over a low strike of Kojiro's, reaching about a meter off the ground and came down on Kojiro's head with his heavy wooden sword. Kojiro lay dying on the sand and Musashi left in a hurry without killing him. Some of Musashi's critics called Musashi a coward for not killing Kojiro, but Musashi was satisfied that Kojiro had been defeated.

==Plot==
The storyline of Musashi Ganryuki is that Kojiro came back from the dead to try and kill Musashi.

==Gameplay==
The game's selectable characters are swordsman Ganryu and his female counterpart Suzume. The mission of the game is to rescue Ganryu's girlfriend from an evil ninja. Players are armed with a sword and a grappling claw.
