Historical drama set in the tumultuous Meiji period about Yamamuro Gunpei, who devoted his life to saving others, and his comrades. Directed by Tojo Masatoshi of 9/10.
Born into a poor farming family in Okayama, Gunpei (Morioka Ryu) was adopted by pawnbroker's family at age nine and went off on his own at age fifteen.
