Shakyamuni Buddha is the name of the historical Buddha, so it does not quite make sense to ask "what is a shakyamuni buddha", as there was only one.
Namu = homage, respect, praise Shakyamuni = is a name for Gautama Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism. Shakyamuni means, 'sage of the shakyas.' Buddha was born into the Shakya tribe. Butsu= Buddha therefore, 'Namu Shakyamuni Buddha' can be translated as 'Homage to the Shakyamuni Buddha.' Hope that helps!
