Moriya Minakata

Moriya Minakata was a young swordsman in training under a legendary teacher named Gaisei. Under his tutelage, along with Kaede and Yuki, he became great swordsman. For many years, they lived happily together while learning bushidō.

One day he discovered his master dead, and the killer was nowhere to be found. Kaede sees Moriya over the body, and seeks to slay him under the belief he slew Gaisei. With this, Moriya sets out on the run. Not only does he wish to avoid this confrontation, but he also seeks the man named Kagami, who was the real killer, in order clear his name. However, after over five years of searching, Moriya has yet to find Kagami, who was defeated by Kaede instead.
