HIDARI

SYNOPSIS
江戸の時代、左甚五郎という名工がいたとされる。今でも日本全国に甚五郎作と伝わる彫り物は多数残されているが、彼が実在したかどうかは定かではない...。兄弟子達の裏切りによって、育ての親と右腕を失った甚五郎は、右腕にはめたカラクリ義手と相棒の「眠り猫」を連れ復讐の旅を続けている。左腕だけで大工道具を操る姿に、いつしか人は彼を「左甚五郎」と呼ぶようになっていた。そしてついに、仇の一人である「犬丸」の牙城へと足を踏み入れた甚五郎の、苛烈な大立ち回りが始まる。
Stories have been told of a legendary craftsman during the Edo-era, by the name of Jingoro Hidari. Today, sculptures accredited to Jingoro can be found throughout Japan, but his very existence is yet to be confirmed. Having lost his foster parent and right arm to the betrayal of his senior apprentices, Jingoro is on a journey of revenge with a mechanical prosthetic arm and his sidekick, “Sleeping Cat.” People soon came to call him Jingoro “Hidari” because of his ability to artfully use his carpentry tools with only his left arm (“hidari” means “left” in Japanese). Finally, Jingoro faces one of his adversaries ”Inumaru” and the curtains rise on a fight to the death.
