Feudal Japan circa 1185 was a desperate place. But novice Bushi warrior Takeda wasn't concerned with war and famine. He wanted to become a master Samurai. Takeda's brash tactics won him few friends and garnered the anger of the feudal lords, the Daimyo, who ordered his death. Assassins struck down Takeda, who, with his final breath, cried for vengeance. Alas Takeda's words were heard by the powers of universal darkness. A bargain was quickly struck in the Underworld, sending Takeda back to Japan to fulfill his prophecy. Now known as Samurai Spawn, this creature from the pits of blackness hunts Samurai warriors who are not pure of heart and searches the land for his own salvation.
