Synopsis
Warrior Jirosaburo, Tokugawa's doppelgänger, becomes shadow player in Sekigahara conflict amid assassins and shifting identities.
Keicho era, with the Toyotomi and Tokugawa armies poised to clash at the edges of Sekigahara... Jirosaburo, a wandering warrior, finds himself drawn into the orbit of the powerful Tokugawa Ieyasu. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to the great warlord, Jirosaburo becomes a shadow figure at the heart of the coming conflict. As tensions rise between the rival factions, the presence of skilled assassins among the troops adds an undercurrent of danger to every encounter. In a world where identity can be both a weapon and a curse, Jirosaburo must navigate the treacherous currents of war and politics, where the line between shadow and substance may determine the fate of a nation.
