Join young Samurai Taro in his quest for revenge on the ruthless warlord who killed his parents. Taro must summon the courage to face his past and seize his destiny to save an empire from civil war and become the Legend of Japan.

Adopted by ghostly Yama Uba and befriended by Tanuki, a shape-shifting raccoon-dog, Taro embarks on a quest of self-discovery and revenge, falls for Kamehime, the teenage Samurai daughter of a powerful warlord, and joins the war for the Imperial throne. Along the way, Taro and his allies face fearsome Yokai - ghosts, goblins, and ghouls of Japanese folklore - while Taro struggles with what it means to be Samurai and human.
