Inu-Oh

Tomona loses his sight and his father after diving for an ancient sword in the waters where the Heike clan met their end at the battle of Dan-no-ura. With few paths forward, he masters the biwa and joins a respected troupe of storytellers, taking the name "Tomoichi." One day, he meets a strange man who delights in frightening others with his unsettling appearance. But the blind storyteller treats him without fear or judgment, and the two quickly become friends. The man, who calls himself "Inu-Ou," discovers he can hear spirits whispering forgotten stories of the Heike clan. Now going by "Tomoari," the musician uses his talent to support Inu-Ou's underground dance performances, and their bold, unorthodox style captivates the public. But their growing fame threatens the rigid traditions upheld by the shogunate, forcing them to confront the powerful forces that shape their world.
