Description

During the war-torn, feudal era of Japan, the Awa clan faced certain extinction from a rival clan backed by demonic forces.

However, a careless promise by their lord leads to both salvation and disgrace when their family dog brings back the head of the enemy warlord, and insists on marrying the lord's daughter. Their unnatural, mystical union bears fruit. But, when both are killed, the eight unborn pups are reincarnated as the eight Dog Warriors - The Hakkenden.

As they slowly find each other and come together as a group, these eight warriors, who each represent one of the eight virtues of Bushido, engage in bloody battles with demonic entities and evil samurai in a final attempt to redeem their clan!
