Budokiba

Budokiba (葡萄牙) was a character that was featured in the eighth episode of Samurai Champloo/Anime called The Art of Altercation.

Appearance
Budokiba is a very attractive woman with dark-brown hair that is tied up in a bun by a gold headband with bangs hanging on the left side, dark grey eyes, thin eyebrows, a mole on the lower right side of her red lips and a curvaceous body as well as big breasts.

She wears a black and grey striped kimono with a red skirt and red sandals.

Personality
Budokiba is a very crafty woman who knows how to lure and charm men. Unlike most women in Japan who were meek and submissive, Budokiba is confident and knows how to control men. Budokiba is also willing to give advice to Fuu on how to deal with men, although it is unknown if she was taunting Fuu.

Biography
Budokiba meets Jin, Fuu and Mugen at a bar where she uses her physical attractiveness to charm Mugen and Jin.

Later, while flirting with Mugen, she drugs Mugen (and presumably Jin) before getting their money and leaving them on the street.

Near the end of the episode she confronts Nagamitsu, and it's revealed they're in a relationship (unclear if they're married). Surprisingly, Jin and Mugen don't attack Budokiba. At the end of the episode, Budokiba is on a boat with kids and Luigi the dog listening to Nagamitsu rap.

It is unknown where Nagatsumi and Budokiba went while traveling on a boat.
