During the 1860's Japan was in a state of turmoil as various factions sought to
overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate. Along came a masked champion for justice; an
extraordinary swordsman called "Kurozukin" (Black Hood) who vowed to support the
Shogun against all enemies.
Starring the great Wakayama Tomisaburo this action
packed made for television movie is superb. On his favorite horse "Hakuhatsu" (White
Hair), our dashing hero contends with upheavals during the final days of the Tokugawa
Shogunate. "Black Hood" uses his tremendous sword skills to defeat the the Choshu
and Satsuma clans as they attempt to steal a map of Edo Castle in order to attack the
castle. Wakayama Tomisaburo plays 3 separate roles to hide his secret identity as he
cuts down brutal enemies, one after another!
