In feudal Japan, Hyouta was once a traveling acrobat. He encounters Ushiwakamaru, a sickly boy of noble birth who is imprisoned by the local lord. Because they are identical in appearance, Hyouta agrees to trade places, but when Ushiwakamaru succumbs to his illness, Hyouta decides to fulfill his dream and remain in his role. Years later, Hyouta has become Minamotono Yoshitsune, and along with his advisors, Musashibou Benkei and Isesaburou Yoshimori, he brings order to his domain by resolving crimes and disputes. A secret messenger arrives to inform Yoshitsune of an impending war. This is Yoshitsune's tale amid one of the greatest conflicts in feudal Japan.
