Personality
Muga is a serious person who is often focused on his job as a ninja exorcist, training his sons to take his place. He also usually shows this personality in his work as manager of the Nino Soba restaurant, being rude to Soga for not doing his job well.

Despite that, he is usually seen to be less serious like when he had his encounter with Matoi whom he considers a rival to beat in drinking battles, or when he tries to get Soga closer to Matsuri.

Plot
Muga, is seen for the first time after a fight with Soga since Ponosuke had told him that he had fallen in love and they broke his heart, making Muga angry.

Seeing that Matsuri arrives to help Soga, Muga begins to fight with both of them showing off his fighting skills. After Soga and Matsuri defeat him, Muga considers Matsuri a worthy match for Soga causing Soga to blush.

After a while, Muga would appear together with Shishimaru during the arrival of their boss Matoi Kazamaki with whom they would lose in a drinking battle.

Lightning-Speed
Like Soga, Muga has great speed, surpassing Ninokuru's.

Dance of Falling Leaves
This jutsu is used by Muga, in which, due to his great speed, he is capable of generating an residual images. According to Muga, this jutsu combines super fast with super slow, which creates an effect similar to leaves falling from trees.

Soga Ninokuru
Muga is usually strict with Soga since he will be the next head of the clan. They always train together and work at the family restaurant.

Haya Ninokuru
Unlike Soga, Muga tends to treat Haya with affection.

Matsuri Kazamaki
Having recognized how syncronized Matsuri and his son are, Muga has concluded that the two would make a great couple. He often tries to convince his son to make a move on Matsuri and take her as his wife.

Matoi Kazamaki
Muga is Matoi's subordinate, so whenever she comes to town, Muga challenges her to a drinking competition with Shishimaru, which they always end up losing. According to Muga, Matsuri's female form is similar to Matoi.

Shishimaru Korogi
Both have known each other for years and are often drinking partners. Both are Matoi's subordinates.
