The story

Set in feudal Japan, the story begins as the daimyō Kagetora (also known as Uesugi Kenshin) obtains power from the shogun to rule the province of Echigo. However, he must protect his lands and his people from the ambitions of the warlord Takeda Shingen, the daimyo of Kai Province who has just invaded and taken control of Shinano. From the beginning, the Takeda army appears to be stronger, but due to Kagetora’s tactics, he manages to win a few minor battles and kill Nobushige, Shingen’s brother, and Kansuke, one of Shingen’s trusted men.
