Learn more about the storyline for the upcoming TV anime The Elusive Samurai down below:
After the massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki flees with the help of a handful of loyal retainers who have also survived the purge. One of them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa Province. The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for the moment, escaping from enemy territory is the priority!
Character designs for the film will be handled by Yasushi Nishitani (who also worked on the sub-character design for the Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us), while Yuta Yamazaki (Love Rice) will serve as the show's director at CloverWorks. Screenplay and series creation are overseen by Yoriko Tomita (My Dress-Up Darling).
