Synopsis

Key Features Description When Minamoto Yoshitsune was just a baby, his father went to war with a rival samurai family, and lost. With his father dead, his mother captured, and his surviving half brother banished, Yoshitsune was sent away to live in a monastery. Skinny, small, and unskilled in the warrior arts, he somehow escaped...and learned the ways of the samurai. When the time came for the Minamoto clan to rise up against their enemies, Yoshitsune answered the call. His daring feats and impossible bravery earned him immortality as the ultimate warrior, driven by revenge but bound by honor and the exacting code of the sword.
