About Samurai Western
It's the American West during the 1800's. The days of pioneers and the Gold Rush
are ending, and a transcontinental railway is in place. One day, a lone stranger
arrives in a tiny, windswept desert town...
His long hair is drawn back in a topknot and he wears strange foreign clothes. A
mysterious-looking blade that is neither a knife nor a saber hangs from his
belt. This mysterious stranger is certainly no gunman, and he ain't no indian...
His name is Gojiro Kiryu, and he's bringing justice back to the Old West.
