TAJOMARU is the famous 'bandit' of the forest from RASHOMON.  Whoever kills Tajormaru inherits his name, status and sword.  A royal brother leaves his kingdom to protect the princess he loves, only to find a series of harrowing adventures along the way which lead him back to the palace he came from, and then disinheriting his past to become the bandit TAJOMARU.

A Shakespearean tale based on the same tale as Kurusawa's RASHOMON, Tajomaru stars Japan biggest young star - Shun Oguri.
