Plot
Set in the eighteenth century, during the reign of the eleventh Tokugawa shōgun Tokugawa Ienari. Nemuri Kyōshirō is a master of the sword, but he is a man who shuts his mind because of his unhappy background.(Kyōshirō's father is a Dutch missionary and his mother was Tokugawa shogunate's upper superintendent officer Matsudaira Mondonoshoū's daughter. He was an unwanted child and Kyōshirō's mother killed herself soon after Kyōshirō`s birth.[5]) Although he hates being involved with incidents and people, he is always involved in them no matter where he goes. Some people challenge him to a duel to see his unusual sword skill called "Engetsu Sappō"(Full Moon cut),[4] while others try to use him because he is a half-breed. He solves incidents with his sword Musō Masamune and intelligence.[3]
