As the third son of a pauper samurai, Kanzaemon Hoshino is not allowed to have dreams—but dream he did in secret, of becoming the world's best archer in the Toshiya, also known as the "Olympics of the Edo era." Opportunity soon presents itself when he stops a raging bull in front of the master of the top archery dojo in Japan. Where sons of noble samurai see an amateur, Master Nagaya sees an unpolished prodigy.
