Description:

The Samurai season 1 takes viewers to 18th century Japan, following the thrilling adventures of a roving samurai detective and spy named Akikusa Shintaro. Alongside his trusted companion Tombei, Shintaro travels the land to battle dangerous enemies of the Shogun, including the dreaded Iga Koga and Fuma Ninjas. Behind his wandering swordsman guise lies a deep secret. Shintaro is actually Matsudaira Nobuchiyo, the older half-brother of Tokugawa Ienari, the 11th Tokugawa shogun who is still a minor. Because he is the son of a concubine, Nobuchiyo has no claim to power. Instead, he assumes the identity of Shintaro to seek out and eliminate deadly plots by rival feudal lords, protecting his younger brother from harm. This classic series blends historical drama, intense action, and suspense as one brave warrior fights to secure peace.
