Goemon

As a child, Ishikawa Goemon's (Yōsuke Eguchi) entire family was assassination for political reasons. His mother (Ryo) sent Goemon away for safety minutes before he witnessed her death. Running away with his caretaker, they were attacked by bandits but he was saved by the great Oda Nobunga (Hashinosuké Nakamura). Goemon followed Nobunaga and Hattori Hanzō (Susumu Terajima) was assigned to train him in the ways of the shinobi (ninja) along with his martial brother, Kirigakure Saizō (Takao Osawa).
