William Stout Knihy

Na konci 16. století zuřila v Japonsku občanská válka. Vládcové jednotlivých provincií mezi sebou bojovali o území a moc. Miyamoto Usagi, který prokázal svou odvahu v mnoha bitvách a vyvázl z nespočtu krvavých potyček, přišel v jednom z bojů o svého pána a po vyhlášení nového šoguna si zvolil cestu toulavého samuraje. Zatímco se z jeho druhů stali bandité a žoldáci, Usagi se vydal na pouť válečníka. Putuje zemí, bojuje proti nespravedlnosti a tříbí si své duchovní a bojové schopnosti. V tomto díle Usagi, spolu se svým přítelem nosorožcem Genem a čtveřicí želvích bojovníků, brání stárnoucího mistra před útokem klanu ninjů. Cesta ho také zavede do vesnice, na kterou z neznámých důvodů útočí nebezpeční zabijáci. Usagi Yojimbo se bude muset bránit před mečem, magií... i ještěrkami.
