Kibakichi is a Yokai, a shape-shifter who can transform himself into a beast at will. Forced to go underground after leaders attempt to wipe out his kind, Kibakichi wanders from town to town as a lone samurai. His travels lead him to a small village where he helps a blind girl and the rest of the townspeople as they seek revenge on a homicidal madman. But someone from his past is spying on him -- an old enemy who means to do him harm.
