Aoyama debuted the series in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday in September 1988, wrapping it up in December 1993 with 24 compiled book volumes. This success led to a 52-episode anime adaptation airing from April 1993 to April 1994.
The series centers on Yaiba Kurogane, a young samurai boy influenced by Miyamoto Musashi, the historical swordsman known for developing the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū style of dual-wielding and authoring the classic military strategy text, The Book of Five Rings.
