Vagabond won the Grand Prize for manga at the 2000 Japan Media Arts Festival. The following was an excerpt from the speech congratulating Takehiko Inoue: "From Toyotomi to Tokugawa. Musashi Miyamoto grew up amidst the turn of two great eras. Mr. Inoue has taken the powerful Musashi who was sometimes called a 'beast' and drawn him as a vagabond. The artist brags about boldly challenging the national literary work of Eiji Yoshikawa, even so, the sense of speed that he creates is impressive. I send my applause to the artist for creating a new image of Musashi." In the same year, Vagabond also won the 24th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category. In 2002, Vagabond received the highly-acclaimed Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. The following year, Inoue was nominated for the 2003 Eisner Award in the category of Best Writer/Artist.
