The era of Japan’s civilized aristocrats has come to a violent end. On the horizon is an era of warriors, where force of arms will be the nation’s supreme power.
The Heishi clan, led by Kiyomori Taira, has defeated the army of Minamoto Yoritomo and put an end to the Heishi Rebellion. It is now clear that Heishi is the strongest of the samurai clans.
Taira’s victory was not due to the force of arms alone, but with the aid of warriors who wore divine stones. Each stone glowed with a mysterious inner light…
AMAHAGANE
Amahagane are mystical jewels bestowed upon the people by Shukenten, the god of smithery. These stones
bring their owners a godlike power called Kamui. It is said that when a good person uses one, it brings forth the
power of a god, but when an evil person uses one, it brings forth the power of evil. Many of the Amahagane have fallen into the hands of the Heishi.
KAMUI
Kamui is a special feat that uses the power of Amahagane.
A Kamui maneuver summons a magical space in which you can avoid enemy attacks while simultaneously executing a devastating attack of your own. There are some attacks that cannot be avoided using Kamui.

YOSHITSUNE MINAMOTO
BACKGROUND:
A young swordsman who is only sixteen years old and the son of Yoshitomo Minamoto, the late leader of the Minamoto clan who fell during the Heishi Rebellion. However, Yoshitsune never knew this. Instead, he came of age after a lonely childhood at the remote, sacred mountain
shrine Mt. Kurama.
A great destiny awaits Yoshitsune.
WEAPON:
Yoshitsune wields a katana in either hand, and overwhelms his
enemies with superhuman speed and agility. Using graceful, dance-like motions, he swiftly combines his attacks into long, devastating chains that overwhelm his enemies.
BENKEI MUSASHIBO
BACKGROUND:
A warrior-monk who stands seven feet tall and has the strength of a giant. Benkei uses his superhuman strength to pulverize his enemies with a giant
war club that is taller and heavier than most full-grown men.
Even though they were defeated in the Heishi Rebellion, Benkei dreams of
the day when the Minamoto clan might return to power.
The Amahagane bring Yoshitsune and Benkei together through a great duel. Although Benkei loses to Yoshitsune, in doing so he realizes
his life’s true purpose. He swears to protect the young Minamoto, and fight by his side
as a brother in arms.
WEAPON:
Benkei has the ability to attack with either his war club or his fauchard, and may switch freely between the two in combat. His club performs powerful crushing blows by charging energy, while the fauchard sweeps enemies away with broad swings.

KAGEKIYO TAIRA – He is the single most powerful warrior of the Heishi. His power is rumored to exceed even that of Kiyomori Taira. Kagekiyo rarely shows emotion and executes his orders in a calm and ruthless manner. With Amahagane in hand, he possesses the power of a thousand men in battle. He was on the front lines during the Heishi Rebellion and his prowess played a great role in the Taira victory. Kagekiyo wields a special weapon that combines two blades in a single pommel, and with it he tirelessly hunts down Yoshitsune.
YORITOMO MINAMOTO – Yoshitsune’s brother, leader of the Minamoto clan. He has planned to restore the Minamoto clan to its former glory ever since the defeat of his father Yoshitomo at the hands of the Heishi.
KIICHI HOGEN – He is the chief of the Tamayori clan, who are charged with guarding the Amahagane. It is the duty of this clan to see that they are not used for evil purposes. Kiichi Hogen is a master Buddhist mystic, and has enchanted Shizuka’s hiding place to help hide her. He is the one who asks Yoshitsune to help the Tamayori retrieve the Amahagane that have fallen into the possession of the Heishi.
HIDEHIRA FUJIWARA – Hidehira leads the Fujiwara clan and governs Oushu, the second-greatest city in Japan. He has refused to become involved in the battle between the Heishi and the Minamoto.
GOZEN SHIZUKA – Known as the “Priestess of the Tamayori”, she is the only person who can use the magical power “Yosegane” rite to enhance the power of the Amahagane. She is targeted by the Heishi, who wish to take advantage of Yosegane. To evade them, she fled far from civilization and now lives quietly in hiding with Kiichi Hogen.
KIYOMORI TAIRA – Kiyomori is the leader of the Heishi. He used the Amahagane to defeat the Minamoto clan’s army during the Heishi Rebellion, and now governs Japan according to the whims of the Heishi. Not satisfied with his victory, he wishes to become sole master of the Amahagane and spread his power even farther. He also seeks the priestess Gozen Shizuka, the only one who can use the secret Yosegane magic.
PRINCESS MINAZURU – She trains with her father, Hogen, hoping to one day become a full-fledged Tamayoribito. Although she has not yet developed special powers like Shizuka, she is still a bright young girl who is well liked by all the townspeople. She often carries rumors and information from her town to Yoshitsune.
THE HEISHI – Led by Kiyomori Taira, this army’s warriors use Amahagane. They also employ the Yourenshu, who control demons. Its forces currently are in control of Heian-Kyou, the city that will one day be called Kyoto.
