For Daigoro, it is a journey he has made before. As he and Togo Shigekata approach the gates of Edo Castle, he wears the same white robes of death he and his father Ogami Itto wore to battle Yagyu Retsudo. But this Daigoro is a hardened warrior, ready to fight alongside Togo against the castle regiments, and a shogun who more than he seems.Author BiographyKazuo Koike is a prolific Japanese manga writer, novelist and entrepreneur. Early in Koike's career, he studied under Golgo 13 creator Takao Saito and served as a writer on the series. Koike, along with artist Goseki Kojima, made the manga Kozure Okami (Lone Wolf and Cub), and Koike also contributed to the scripts for the 1970s film adaptations of the series, which starred famous Japanese actor Tomisaburo Wakayama.
