Kozure Okami – ensamvargen och hans unge. Dråparen med barnvagnen. Itto Ogami och hans lille son Daigoro har många namn. En gång var Itto Ogami shoguns officielle skarprättare med uppgift att avrätta rebelliska feodalherrar som satt sig upp mot shogun. Hans skicklighet med svärdet var legendarisk. Men så lät den mäktiga Yagyu-klanen brutalt mörda hans familj och störtade Ogami från hans höga position genom lögn och förräderi. Itto Ogami tog sin nyfödde son – den ende som överlevt massakern – i ena handen och sitt svärd i den andra. Brinnande av begär efter hämnd valde han att leva fredlös, och överleva genom att erbjuda sina tjänster som yrkesmördare.
