The film draws on the 16th Century Japanese folk legend of Goemon Ishikawa a ninja bandit hero who – similarly to Robin Hood – stole valuables from the rich and gave them to the poor. Over time he has become a much loved figure in Japan, being the inspiration for many Kabuki plays and even having a dedicated video game series. Kiriya takes the seeds of the legend and builds around them an epic tale of heroism and sacrifice.
