Synopsis
Orphaned samurai's son, named Ryo by Sakamoto Ryouma, joins him in anti-Bakufu activities during Tokugawa era's end.
During the turbulent end of the Tokugawa era, many children became war orphans.

Impressed by the orphan's skill with a blade, Ryouma gives him the name "Ryo" and lets him travel by his side.
