勘太郎月夜唄

Kantaro, known as a rowdy boy in the town of Ina, attacked the local boss, Kaneoni's Arahira, all by himself, but was defeated by a large group of people and thrown into the Tenryu River, never to be seen again. Three years later, Kantaro, who was rumored to be dead, was reported to have appeared at a boarding house upstream of the Tenryu River by Genkō, a horseman who had been saved by Kantaro. O-Mitsu, the daughter of Chokai-ji Temple, who had secretly been in love with Kantaro, was thrilled by the rumor and told her father, the monk Ryokai, about it. However, Ryokai was none other than the one who had rescued Kantaro from the boarding house three years earlier and had secretly sent him to Edo.

13 Assassins

A sadistic Daimyo (feudal lord) rapes a woman and murders both her and her husband, but even when one of his own vassals commits suicide to bring attention to the crime, the matter is quickly hushed up. Not only will there be no punishment, but because the Daimyo is the Shogun's younger brother, he will soon be appointed to a high political position from which he could wreak even more havoc. Convinced that the fate of the Shogunate hangs in the balance, a plot is hatched to assassinate the Daimyo. The two most brilliant strategic minds of their generation find themselves pitted against each other; one is tasked to defend a man he despises, and has a small army at his disposal. The other is given a suicide mission, and has 12 brave men. They are the 13 Assassins.

He's followed there by Otsu and later by Akemi, both in love with him. The year ends as Takezo assists the villagers against a band of brigands.
