Plot
On the run and hunted by the Ming’s from China, a young boy named Kotaro and his dog Tobimaru meet a nameless samurai, Nanashi (which means “nameless” in Japanese). Nanashi is haunted by a dark past and has vowed to never draw his sword again. After the Ming’s attempt to capture Kotaro, Nanashi decides to accompany Kotaro to the next village. Upon arriving, Nanashi is attacked by a fierce Ming fighter named Rarou, a foreigner who desires only to find a worthy opponent. Thus begins a series of events that includes conflicts with feudal lords, conflicted monks, and an entire army in a pursuit to find an answer to the Ming’s true motivations.
