Marume explains that within days, the armies of Clan Tokugawa and Clan Toyotomi will meet in battle at Sekigahara to determine which dynasty will gain control over Japan, and he is recruiting skilled swordsmen to carry out a special mission in the lead up to the battle.
One day, he is approached in his home by Marume Nagayoshi, a general in the army of the Tokugawa Clan.
Desperate for vengeance, Haruka sells herself to the Landlady of Tsuruya as an apprentice courtesan in exchange for the money to hire Kiryu to avenge her family.įive years prior, in 1600, Miyamoto is running a sword-fighting dojo in his home province of Mimisaka. Despite being surprised that someone pretending to be him killed the girl's family, Miyamoto declines taking on her job, using her lack of money as an excuse. While talking in his home, Haruka explains why she sought him out: She claims that "Miyamoto Musashi" murdered her entire family in front of her and now she wants to hire Kiryu to kill her family's murderer. Miyamoto is initially uninterested in speaking to the girl, until he sees the katana she has on her and recognizes its crest. One day, a young girl named Haruka arrives in Gion, covered in bruises and clutching a katana while demanding to speak with Kiryu. He works as a mercenary for the various merchants, moneylenders and brothel-owners of the neighbourhood and he spends his days napping, drinking with his friend Ito Ittosai or flirting with Yoshino the most popular courtesan in the town's biggest brothel, Tsuruya. In 1605, Miyamoto Musashi is living in Gion, Kyoto's red-light district, under the alias of "Kiryu Kazumanosuke". When referring to the imposter character pretending to be Miyamoto, the summary will refer to him in quotation marks as "Miyamoto Musashi". Throughout this summary, the names Miyamoto Musashi and Kiryu Kazumanosuke will be used interchangeably to refer to the same character, as he goes by both. In an interview at Gamecom in Cologne, Germany in August 2019 however, Sato backtracked slightly on the idea of a western release, questioning whether Western gamers would know enough about Samurai history to enjoy Kenzan! and its sequel Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!. Although nothing has officially been announced as of late 2020, Yakuza series producer Daisuke Sato hinted at the possibility of a Kiwami-style remake of Kenzan! being created and released worldwide during an event in Taipei, Taiwan in June. Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! was released in Japan on March 6th, 2008 for the PlayStation 3.
