From the pen of Shibata Renzaburo, creator of Nemuri Kyoshiro, as well as many other popular samurai characters portrayed in film, this is some of his best work. The tales of Matsudaira Zankuro, a “Gokenin” which is a low level direct retainer of the Tokugawa are exciting with touches of humor and expert swordplay.

Matsudaira Zankuro symbolizes the common man. His swordsmanship is self taught. It’s more a product of nature than training. It’s not known when and how he developed it, but it is no exaggeration when you say that it is divine. He lives in abject poverty with his mother as the lowest of Tokugawa retainers. And no matter how he tries to avoid it, trouble always seems to come his way!
