Toronto, Canada is home to Toshiro Kinura Sahura, a young man with quite a talent with a sword. Toshiro's sword is the subject of this black-and-white series from Aircel Publishing. The Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) is after Toshiro's sword because a legend states that this very sword was forged to do battle with supernatural beings. Toshiro travels the world in an attempt to evade the Yakuza as he learns more and more about the sword.
Along the way, he discovered that a second, shorter sword was forged at the same time and for the same purpose. Feeling a moral obligation to keep that sword from the Yakuza as well, Toshiro travels to the far East, where the sword sits in a religious temple.
