Description: Gosuke is a young, kind-hearted boy, living in the Sengoku Period. Born in the village that specialized in forging steel in a traditional practice known as Tatara, Gosuke is predestined to become the grand master of steel, known as Murage. However, when his village’s master of swordsmanship is slain, Gosuke decides he must be the one to protect his village, and leaves his home behind to become a samurai. Sobei, a visiting merchant, introduces him to Yohei, who invites Gosuke to join the honored Oda Army. Gosuke is so afraid during the first battle, that he loses control and runs away. He leaves behind Senkichi, his new friend, and begins to lose faith in his ability to protect the village that he loves.
