In Japanese mythology, few demons and yokai were as feared as the Oni. And perhaps the most feared of all was called Shuten-Doji! In addition to a hideous appearance and brute strength, Shuten-Doji was a master of the dark arts, and held humanity with great contempt, stealing from them, enslaving them, and killing them with glee. The only one brave enough to face Shuten-Doji and his horde of monsters was a legendary samurai warrior blessed by the gods!
