Taro will become a samurai and redeem the family legacy that has been
stolen from him. A classic tale of adventure.
When the powerful Lord Takeda's soldiers sweep across the countryside,
killing and plundering, they spare the boy Taro's life and take him
along with them.
Taro becomes a servant in the household of the noble Lord Akiyama, where
he meets Togan, a cook, who teaches Taro and makes his new life
bearable.
But when Togan is murdered, Taro's life takes a new direction: He will
become a samurai, and redeem the family legacy that has been stolen from
him.
