Japan, 1160 AD. Tokiwa Gozen holds two young boys in her arms. Sheās the wife to the head of the Minamoto Family. This used to be a pretty good gig, were it not for the fact that the Taira family existed. The Taira were the Capulets to the Minamotoās Montagues, two houses alike in dignity who hated each otherās guts, until today. Today the Taira snuff out the Minamoto for good.
The younger boy, Yoshitsune, was only one year old that day. The day his father and brothers were put to the sword, and his mother taken away from him forever. The day he was separated from his brother. But he would spend the rest of his life fighting for revenge.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune (ęŗ ē¾©ēµ, c. 1159 ā June 15, 1189) was a commander of the Minamoto clan of Japan in the late Heian and early Kamakura periods. During the Genpei War, he led a series of battles that toppled the Ise-Heishi branch of the Taira clan, helping his half-brother Yoritomo consolidate power. He is considered one of the greatest and the most popular warriors of his era, and one of the most famous samurai in the history of Japan.
