Guan Yu
Guan Yu was an ancient Chinese figure who was a general serving under the warlord Liu Bei. He played a large part in the civil war that led to the end of the Han Dynasty. He is also said to have invented the guandao, a widely used Chinese polearm. He is one of the most widely known ancient figures in Eastern Asia, and is worshipped by some as a deity.

Miyamoto Musashi
Miyamoto Musashi was an invincible samurai from Japan's Edo period and was probably the greatest swordsman to ever live. Born in Mimaska Province to a family of lesser nobility, Musashi taught himself the art of swordfighting at a very young age. He won his first duel at the age of thirteen, when he challenged an samurai to a duel killed him using just a bokken. Musashi spent most of his life wandering the countryside just challenging people to duels to prove his strenght. Over his lifetime he won over sixty duels, some of them against multiple enemies, and fought successfully in three major military campaigns, including the defense of Osaka Castle.

My Edges:
Short: Edge Miyamoto: He is an expert on the katana, nothing much to say, lus his sword is heavier and sharper, capable of dealing more damage.

Mid: Edge Guan Yu: He invented that weapon, he is his master and while Miyamoto killed a duelist with the bokken, it's still wood vs steel so.

Long: Edge Even: While Guan is better archer, his bow has inferior range and power so it's pretty tied.

Special: Edge Guan Yu: The Yin Yang Daggers are indeed unique weapon for Guan's period of life time, and since he has two of them and they can disarm, stab, slash and hack, they get the edge over the lonely wakizashi.

X-Factors
Training: Guan Yu 83, Miyamoto 90: While Guan was excellent warrior and tactician there were still warriors like Zhang Fei and Lu Bu which surpassed him, Miyamoto was the greatest swordsman in history with no equal.

Armor: Guan Yu 57, Miyamoto 17: I don't see the kimono robes as anything practical for fighting, is still amazing how Miyamoto won his duels. While Guan Yu's hardened leather scales and bamboo shield are better than nothing.

Intimidation: Guan Yu 93, Miyamoto 74: Miyamoto wasn't that intimidating until you face him in combat, Guan on the other hand was 6'9 height, so he was pretty tall for his time and most enemy soldiers were scared from him and his incredible skills with every weapon.

Tactics: Guan Yu 89, Miyamoto 89: Both had great and excellent tactics. Guan with his victory over Cao Cao and Miyamoto's victory over Sasaki Kojiro. Both used the tactic called Antagonism, in which they leave their opponent to be consumed by their anger and emotions and than defeat them.
