In 1934, the young Oyama Matsutatsu watches his farm servant,
Bumsoo, fighting with yakuza in the market in Kimje, Korea.
Oyama admires Bumsoo and starts to learn to fight. Seven years
later, 18-year-old Oyama (Yang Donggeun) smuggles himself
into Japan to go to an aviation school but instead finds himself
being forced into the Kamikaze program. He resists and fights
with the Japanese instructor. Kato, a Karate master and captain
of the program, offers to fight but Oyama runs away, earning
Kato's scorn.
Humiliated and wasting away his time, Oyama meets Bumsoo
again and is rejuvenated. Bumsoo gives him a copy of Miyamoto
Musashi's Book of Five Rings, a book by Japan's greatest swordsman
on how to fight and survive. Reading the book is a turning
point for Oyama. He begins to wander the streets at night
saving women and others from bullies, robbers and worse. This
is when Oyama meets Youko, a beautiful geisha with a pure
soul and saves her from some cruel American soldiers. She
starts to believe that he is the legendary vigilante hero
Mouko and their tragic love begins.
One day Bumsoo is brutally killed by some yakuzas. Oyama
goes to the mountains in grief. After a bout of incredibly
intense self-training, Oyama searches throughout Japan hunting
down the best martial arts masters to fight and conquer¡¦.
