The story is about a teenage humanoid cat named Hanzo who was trained to fight. After finally turning at the age of 18 and becoming an adult, Hanzo was ready to do his first-ever mission, but it wasn't a kind of mission he expected it to be when Grand Master Rice told him that his first mission was to pick up Tofu at Ichi's bar. After failing to do so, due to Ichi kicking him out of the bar for saying something about him at his wife, Hanzo was chosen by Ichi to protect the katana, called the Mursame, after saving him and his wife from an arm's dealer monkey and his group of shadows that wanted it. Not only do they want possession of the sword, but a female cat bandit named Shino as well.
