KATSUSHIRO OKAMOTO
KO
The young, idealistic, and sheltered samurai who desperately wishes to become Kambei’s disciple. Katsushiro starts the series completely naive to the harsh, blood-soaked realities of actual warfare, but his journey is a beautifully painful coming-of-age story. His deep admiration for Kambei and his growing romantic feelings for Kirara push him to shed his innocence and prove himself on the battlefield.

The anime arrives at a familiar destination after taking a wildly different road. The samurai can defeat armies and rulers, but the victory belongs to the people who can go back to living after the warriors leave.
