"Black Death"
*The brutal war between Itto Ogami and the Yagyu clan has claimed scores of victims, among them the three sons of Retsudo Yagyu. But a fourth, illegitimate son survives, and the last Yagyu son also wields a far deadlier weapon, for he is the head of the dreaded Hojiro assassins, feared throughout Japan as "The Black Death". *Source: First Publishing
