However, they are rescued by Fuu, who hires the duo as her bodyguards. Though she no longer has a place to return to, the former waitress wishes to find a certain samurai who smells of sunflowers and enlists the help of the now exonerated pair to do so. Despite initially disapproving of this idea, the two eventually agree to assist the girl in her quest; thus, the trio embark upon an adventure to find this mysterious warrior—that is, if Fuu can keep Mugen and Jin from killing each other.
Set in an alternate Edo Period of Japan, Samurai Champloo follows the journey of these three eccentric individuals in an epic quest full of action, comedy, and dynamic sword fighting, all set to the beat of a unique hip-hop infused soundtrack.

There have been a few different interpretations of the title since it's very easy for the Japanese language to contain a multitude of puns in really any little string of characters. The word "Champloo" comes from the word for a Japanese stir-fry dish, although that's not likely to be the meaning intended by Watanabe.
Amore likely explanation is that it's supposed to imply "remix," which definitely makes sense given the hip-hop nature of the show and the constant anachronisms featured in the series.
It's not exactly clear why, but the series received an adaptation as a video game which was released for the Playstation 2.
It's called Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked and although the story of the game is original, Bandai has come out as saying that it bears no real relation to much that happens in the series. It's a beat-em-up type game, although it could have just as convincingly been a rhythm game. While it got pretty mixed reviews, it has decent replayability since each character has a different ending.
While the show is chock full of references to the Edo period and tons of other references to western culture, the most prominent one is the references to hip-hop. One of the coolest ones is Mugen's fighting style, which blends breakdancing with Karate in a really interesting way.
There's also the masterful soundtrack, and the bleeps in a lot of the dubs are record-scratches. While the show started out as an anime production originally, there's also a manga that was adapted from the show that covers the course of the show but also introduces new content which Watanabe said was supposed to be reminiscent of bonus features on a DVD.
